Bad New Days examines the evolution of art and criticism in Western Europe and North America over the last twenty-five years, exploring their dynamic relation to the general condition of emergency instilled by neoliberalism and the war on terror.

Considering the work of artists such as Thomas Hirschhorn, Tacita Dean, and Isa Genzken, and the writing of thinkers like Jacques Rancière, Bruno Latour, and Giorgio Agamben, Hal Foster shows the ways in which art has anticipated this condition, at times resisting the collapse of the social contract or gesturing toward its repair; at other times burlesquing it.

Against the claim that art making has become so heterogeneous as to defy historical analysis, Foster argues that the critic must still articulate a clear account of the contemporary in all its complexity. To that end, he offers several paradigms for the art of recent years, which he terms “abject,” “archival,” “mimetic,” and “precarious.”

12.14-12.15 文笔佳，非常专业，非常具有问题意识，非常具有社会政治关心。虽然没有看过谈到的一些当代艺术家的作品无法论喜好，但喜欢foster的批评，第一章关于拉康的gaze和image screen；第二章关于archival art（展现历史的另一面）；第三章关于三个艺术家用其装置艺术mimetic后911美国社会和政治中的媚俗；第四章讲艺术家Thomas Hirschhorn艺术中的四个概念；第五章关于艺术批评的现状；最后一章是performative art。
