Numerous international exhibitions and biennials have borne witness to
the range of contemporary art engaged with the everyday and its antecedents in the
work of Surrealists, Situationists, the Fluxus group, and conceptual and feminist
artists of the 1960s and 1970s. This art shows a recognition of ordinary dignity or
the accidentally miraculous, an engagement with a new kind of anthropology, an
immersion in the pleasures of popular culture, or a meditation on what happens when
nothing happens. The celebration of the everyday has oppositional and dissident
overtones, offering a voice to the silenced and proposing possibilities for change.
This collection of writings by artists, theorists, and critics assembles for the
first time a comprehensive anthology on the everyday in the world of contemporary
art.Stephen Johnstone is a London-based artist and filmmaker and a Senior Lecturer
in the Department of Art at Goldsmiths College, London. Since 1993, he has worked
collaboratively with Graham Ellard, and their film and video work has been exhibited
in museums and galleries including the Centre Pompidou, the Tate Liverpool, the
Museum of Modern Art, Sydney, and the National Film Theatre, London.
