Beschreibung
This groundbreaking collection from scholars and artists on the legacy of Beckett in contemporary art provides readers with a unique view of this important writer for page, stage, and screen. The volume argues that Beckett is more than an influence on contemporary art¿he is, in fact, a contemporary artist, working alongside artists across disciplines in the 1960s, 1970s, and beyond. The volume explores Beckett¿s formal experiments in drama, prose, and other media as contemporary, parallel revisions of modernism¿s theoretical presuppositions congruent with trends like Minimalism and Conceptual Art.

Containing interviews with and pieces by working artists, alongside contributions of scholars of literature and the visual arts, this collection offers an essential reassessment of Beckett¿s work. Perceiving Beckett¿s ongoing importance from the perspective of contemporary art practices, dominated by installation and conceptual strategies, it offers a completely new frame through which to read perennial Beckettian themes of impotence, failure, and penury. From Beckett¿s remains, as it were, contemporary artists find endless inspiration.
