Kristine Stiles is the France Family Professor of Art, Art History, and Visual Studies at Duke University. She is the author of several books on contemporary art and theory and is also a curator and consultant to museums around the world.
"Concerning Consequences gathers together Stiles's seminal essays
on destruction art and trauma. This important and timely collection
digs into the darkness that art unearths and reminds us, urgently,
that all art now plays out against the backdrop of our impending
extinction."--Jack Halberstam, author of The Queer Art of
Failure
"An incredibly ambitious book by one of the world's preeminent art
historians. Stiles's work is theoretically sophisticated; the
detail through which she speaks is clear evidence of years spent
with living artists and archives; and her style and argumentation
are accessible, fluid, and engaging. Concerning Consequences
asserts the importance of seeing artists on their own
terms."--Douglas Kahn, University of New South Wales, Sydney
