Book Launch and Talk: Claire Bishop
Disordered Attention: How We Look at Art and Performance Today
Venue: KW Courtyard
Registration via
In collaboration with Texte zur Kunst, KW Institute for Contemporary Art is pleased to host the launch of Claire Bishop’s new book Disordered Attention: How We Look at Art and Performance Today, published by Verso Books. Claire Bishop will start with a short lecture about her reflections on the changing ways we encounter contemporary art and performance, which will be followed by a conversation between Bishop, Caroline Lillian Schopp (Assistant Professor, Department of the History of Art, Johns Hopkins University) and Léon Kruijswijk (Curator, KW).
About Disordered Attention
Installations brim with archival documents. Dances stretch for weeks. Performances last a minute. Exhibitions are spread out over thirty venues. There are endless artworks about mid-century architecture and design. How are we expected to engage with today’s diverse practice? Is the old model of close-looking still the ideal, or has it given way to browsing, skimming, and sampling?
Across four essays, art historian and critic Claire Bishop identifies trends in contemporary practice – research-based installations, performance exhibitions, interventions, and invocations of modernist architecture – and their challenges to traditional modes of attention. Charting a critical path through the last three decades, Bishop pinpoints how spectatorship and visual literacy are evolving under the pressures of digital technology.
Claire Bishop is Presidential Professor in the PhD Program in Art History at the Graduate Center, City University of New York. Her books include Artificial Hells: Participatory Art and the Politics of Spectatorship (Verso, 2012), Radical Museology, or, What’s Contemporary in Museums of Contemporary Art? (Walther König, 2013), and a book of conversations with the Cuban artist Tania Bruguera (Cisneros, 2020).

Caroline Lillian Schopp is Assistant Professor of modern and contemporary art at Johns Hopkins University. Her work focuses on performance and body art, art and the critique of violence, and feminist historiographies. Her forthcoming book, In-action: Viennese Actionism and the Passivities of Performance Art (University of Chicago Press), advocates for an approach to performance art history beyond the action paradigm.
