Religion and Contemporary Art
Religion and Contemporary Art sets the theoretical frameworks and interpretive strategies for exploring the re-emergence of religion in the making, exhibiting, and discussion of contemporary art. Featuring essays from both established and emerging scholars, critics, and artists, the book reflects on what might be termed an "accord" between contemporary art and religion. It explores the common strategies contemporary artists employ in the interface between religion and contemporary art practice. It also includes case studies to provide more in-depth treatments of specific artists grappling with themes such as ritual, abstraction, mythology, the body, popular culture, science, liturgy, and social justice, among other themes. It is a must-read resource for working artists, critics, and scholars in this field, and an invitation to new voices "curious" about its promises and possibilities.

Under Lucy's Lash
In Under the Female Yoke, we learned about Roger Hargreave's trials and tribulations at the hands of a dominant woman. Blackmailed into slavery, he has had no choice but to comply. Now, his Mistress has left him under the control of a mere girl. But there is no let-up in the strict regime of female domination. He has simply gone from the frying-pan into the fire.
Rock 'N' Roll
Lash has a special gift that allows him to enhance the sexual pleasure of those around him to mind-blowing levels, by entering a trance-like state. A gift that makes Lash highly sought after as an "entertainer" for the hedonistic rich, who pay him handsomely to attend private trysts and full-blown sex parties. But this power takes a toll on Lash's life and psyche. It affects his personal relationships, and he constantly has to dodge his ex-wife, who is addicted to his abilities. When Lash comes face to face with death, his world begins to disintegrate, as a new facet of his power is revealed. One with horrible and gruesome consequences. ***** "ROCK 'N' ROLL is like an off-the-wall late night supernatural erotic thriller as directed by David Cronenberg." --The Horror Fiction Review "L.L. Soares is a master of blunt-force drama. His fiction is fueled with violence and sexuality and an unflinchingly honest view of humanity." -- Peter N. Dudar, author of A Requiem for Dead Flies and The Goat Parade
Curatorial Intervention
Curatorial Intervention: History and Current Practice, is a critical analysis of the dynamic roles curators play in shaping, mediating and, at times, redefining the artist-audience exchange. Focusing on contemporary curatorial practice, this work critically examines the ways in which curators impact artists’ intentionality, and how this alters audiences’ experiences of reception. Through discussions with leading artists, curators, and arts administrators, Brett Levine posits a new paradigm for defining and contextualizing curatorial practice, while exploring how the former dialectic of intention and reception is today defined by the triad intention-intervention-reception. After situating...
Meta- and Inter-Images in Contemporary Visual Art and Culture
Exploring the epistemological potential of meta- and inter-images Since the 1990s, when the question of the visual became central in various arts and humanities disciplines, images that refer to themselves as such or to other images have enjoyed an increasing interest. Meta- and Inter-Images in Contemporary Visual Art and Culture partakes in, enriches and updates these debates. It investigates what meta- and inter-images can make known about the visual, in its own terms, by its own means. Written by scholars in aesthetics, art history, and cultural, film, literary, media, and visual studies, the essays gathered here tackle meta- and inter-images in an array of creative artefacts, practices, ...
Eamon Ore-Giron

Over the course of his career, Eamon Ore-Giron has examined the personal and historical ramifications of cultural hybridity.

Male Bodies Unmade
Male Bodies Unmade explores white men's disunified physicality in modern and contemporary art while attending to erotic polysemy that questions the visual ethos of Occidental patriarchy. Art historian Jongwoo Jeremy Kim's approach is informed by his own status as an immigrant--a polyglot queen, drawn to extravagant fantasies of misbehaving bodies that are in truth foreign territories, colonies of misbelief. In six case studies focusing on configurations of irrational anatomy and horny self-extinction, this book celebrates the lessons and pleasures of disrupting art history's hegemonically Western narratives.
Spiritual Moderns
Examines how and why religion matters in the history of modern American art. Andy Warhol is one of the best-known American artists of the twentieth century. He was also an observant Catholic who carried a rosary, went to mass regularly, kept a Bible by his bedside, and depicted religious subjects throughout his career. Warhol was a spiritual modern: a modern artist who appropriated religious images, beliefs, and practices to create a distinctive style of American art. Spiritual Moderns centers on four American artists who were both modern and religious. Joseph Cornell, who showed with the Surrealists, was a member of the Church of Christ, Scientist. Mark Tobey created pioneering works of Abstract Expressionism and was a follower of the Bahá’í Faith. Agnes Pelton was a Symbolist painter who embraced metaphysical movements including New Thought, Theosophy, and Agni Yoga. And Warhol, a leading figure in Pop art, was a lifelong Catholic. Working with biographical materials, social history, affect theory, and the tools of art history, Doss traces the linked subjects of art and religion and proposes a revised interpretation of American modernism.
