Once at the margins of the art world, film now occupies a prominent
place in museums and galleries. Exhibiting Cinema in Contemporary Art
explores the emergence of cinema as a primary medium of artistic
production, offering an in-depth inquiry into its genesis, its defining
features, and its ramifications. Erika Balsom also tackles cinema
studies' great disciplinary obsession--namely, what cinema was, is, and
will become in a digital future. Rich in theoretical reflections and
critical analyses, Exhibiting Cinema in Contemporary Art offers
insights into the whole history of cinema from the vantage point of
today's art.
