Publisher's Synopsis
Encounters with art engage various conditions of interiority-whether through psychic spaces or specific physical environments, such as museums and private residences. The exhibition "If you lived here, you'd be home by now," presented at the Hessel Museum of Art, CCS Bard, in 2011, was the catalyst for the current volume, providing a paradigmatic case study for probing issues of the personal and subjective within realms of the sociological and the cultural. Through diverse discursive modes-commissioned essays, conversations and talks, historical writings, and artistic projects-this anthology, the first CCS Readers volume, examines the poetics and politics of interior experience within the frame of contemporary art.
