5.0 out of 5 stars Contemplative and thought provoking collection
I was surprised by the depth and range of this book. The visuals are cold, yet contemplative. It's like a Michael Snow film in book form.

2.0 out of 5 stars Dated with safe, ho-hum visuals
I was expecting more than yesterday's idea of contemporary.
The sampling of visuals has a stale feel. Only one minor Kiki Smith?
The interviews might be wonderful. I was too disinterested in the work to even care
what the artists had to say.
I guess if you are totally unfamiliar with last decade's art scene, and find all this new stuff
too...

I guess if you are totally unfamiliar with last decade's art scene, and find all this new stuff
too gyrating on your placid ruminations, you can dip in and wile away a rainy afternoon
on what seems like a curatorial overview with mostly B grade visuals.
