Beskrivning
Reflecting on the relationship between artists and their audiences, this book examines how artists have presented themselves publicly through interviews and sought to establish a critical voice for themselves.Considering the interview as a form of cultural production, contributors explore the criteria for determining the artist interview as a distinct field of research in relation to other cultural fields. Structured in four parts, ‘History and Historiography’, ‘Subverting the Biographical Model’, ‘Interviews as Practice’ and ‘Materiality and Technology’, the book takes an interdisciplinary approach that encompasses the fields of art history, fine art, oral history, curating, media studies and museum conservation. By theorising the artist interview as a form of cultural production and embracing it as a co-constructed critical practice, this volume aims to show and encourage an approach to art history which dismantles old hierarchies in favour of valuing dialogue and collaboration.The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, museum studies, oral history and historiography.

Recensioner i media

“In this bold endeavour to theorise the artist interview, Farinati and Thatcher have put together a thought-provoking anthology discussing the artist interview from various perspectives. It is interesting to realise that the interview is a tool for both the artist, art historians, critics, and conservators, and often a collaboration on multiple levels.”-- Sandra Kisters, Director of Collections and Research at Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen"Vital reading for anyone who conducts or uses quotes from interviews with artists, this anthology asks us to pause and reflect on the interview as a complex mode of cultural production. The essays gathered here do the best kind of interdisciplinary work, modeling how to ask better, more careful questions about how artist interviews are produced and what work they do in the world."-- Jennifer Sichel, Assistant Professor of Contemporary Art and Theory, University of Louisvillehttps://flash---art.it/article/67114/-- Flash Art Italia"Il merito più grande di questo volume è senza dubbio quello di proporre l’intervista non semplicemente come una testimonianza o una fonte a cui attingere nell’interpretazione di opere e poetiche e nella ricostruzione storica, ma soprattutto come un prodotto culturale essa stessa."-- Il de Martino: Storie voci suoni, n. 40/2025"Each contributor brings a distinct perspective shaped by their own experience – whether researching interviews or conducting them – and draws on a wide range of sources, including materials often overlooked by art historians. The volume approaches the artist interview through art history, fine art, oral history, curating, media and communication studies, museum studies and conservation."-- Ruth del Fresno-Guillem (29 Dec 2025): Theorising the Artist Interview, Journal of the American Institute for Conservation, DOI: 10.1080/01971360.2025.2607292
