Synopsis

Why is this art?

The world of contemporary art can seem intimidating, absurd and self-obsessed, while the sums of money exchanged are baffling. Writing on contemporary art is often tortured and confused, ignoring the important questions:

What is contemporary art?

How does it relate to money and power?

How is it made?

Will it survive?

To answer these questions, Katya Tylevich and Ben Eastham offer a series of short biographies on eight great works of twenty-first century art by Martin Creed, Barry McGee, Camille Henrot, Marina Abramovi?, Philippe Parreno and Pierre Huyghe, Erwin Wurm, Michaël Borremans and Gregory Crewdson. They follow these paintings, films, installations, experiences, experiments, sculptures and performances through all the key stages of their existence so far – from the delicate quiet of the studio to the grand chaos of the art world.

A funny, engaging, personal guide through the world of art today, My Life as a Work of Art takes as its starting point the only really important thing: the work of art itself.
