Photography After Conceptual Art presents a series of original chapters that address substantive theoretical, historical, and aesthetic issues raised by past 1960's photography as a mainstream artistic medium, particularly in light of the oft-heard critique of the arts' 'postnedium' condition. Contributions trace photographic art's remarkable transformation from the 'non-aesthetic' uses of the medium associated with various conceptual and post-conceptual practices of the 1960's and 1970's to the large scale pictorial colour images that have dominated the medium since the 1990's. The theoretical and aesthetic implications of this historical metamorphosis are considered from a number of conflicting theoretical perspectives. Among the influential artists discussed are Ed Ruscho, Bernd and Hilla Becher, Douglas Huebler, Mel Bochner, Sherrie Levine, Roni Horn, Thomas Demand, and Jeff Wall, whose work is considered from the perspectives of Martin Heidegger, Theodor Adorno, Gilles Nleuze, Roland Borthes Michael Fried, and several others. Photography After Conceptual Ali offers an insightful and illuminating snapshot of the current state of debate in the realm of photographic art.
