Illuminates how the city has shaped contemporary artistic practice in Southeast Asia
Pamela N. Corey is assistant professor of art and media studies at Fulbright University Vietnam.
"Corey’s masterful monograph will be a must-read not only for
Documenta visitors but also for anyone interested in global
contemporary art and South East Asia."
*South East Asia Research*
"It is valuable asset to any syllabus of Southeast Asian
contemporary art history to inspire new writings."
*Art & Market*
"This book invites a reflection on the affective shaping of our
spatiotemporal experience of living in cities, thereby appealing to
scholars in landscape studies as well as art researchers who will
enjoy the original and eloquent critique of a very gratifying
selection of artworks."
*Journal of Vietnamese Studies*
"A great gift for art historians . . . [Corey’s] convincing
adoptions of the city—rather than the nation—as a scale of
reference offers a significant new model for art historians of the
region."
*Art Journal*
"The City in Time emits a new energy unleashed by studies of
Southeast Asia’s hitherto underresearched postsocialist bloc . . .
Though squarely art historical, Corey’s lucid account of art’s
critical purchase on fast-changing cities will be of interest to
those studying urban Asia in other disciplines. She moves with
agility between discourses that normally are kept apart in academia
but that address the same city-centered economy of
appearances."
*Journal of Asian Studies*
"Provides a new understanding of contemporary art as spatial
practices in [Vietnam and Cambodia] . . . By focusing on how
artists engage with their local environments, Corey not only evades
the limitations of national identity but also situates Southeast
Asian artists as active agents within the global contemporary
artworld."
