| book description |

In this book, Dan Adler addresses recent tendencies in contemporary art toward assemblage sculpture and how these works incorporate tainted materials â€“ often things left on the side of the road, according to the logic and progress of the capitalist machine â€“ and combine them in ways that allow each element to retain a degree of empirical specificity. Adler develops a range of aesthetic models through which these practices can be understood to function critically. Each chapter focuses on a single exhibition: Isa Genzkenâ€™s ""OIL"" (German Pavilion, Venice Biennale, 2007), Geoffrey Farmerâ€™s midcareer survey (MusÃ©e dâ€™art contemporain, MontrÃ©al, 2008), Rachel Harrisonâ€™s ""Consider the Lobster"" (CCS Bard Hessel Museum of Art, 2009), and Liz Magorâ€™s ""The Mouth and Other Storage Facilities"" (Henry Art Gallery, Seattle, 2008).
