Takedown: Art and Power in the Digital Age by Farah Nayeri
reflective
slow-paced
4.0
with old works of art we see the theme of “power” constantly being talked about (i can think of the statues of hatshepsut, the ‘ahu ‘ula, the head of the roman patrician, and so many more…), but the same doesn’t happen with contemporary pieces, and i liked to see it being discussed in this book.
as someone not familiar with museums and their intricate systems, it was very interesting to explore more of how decisions are made,
the author’s writing is very good and i like how she tries to explain all of the perspectives and includes interviews with the artists. the text flows, is interesting, and cohesive as a whole. a great read for people who are not too familiar with art history
