Description
A bold new account of its subject, Cinema Expanded provides the first scholarly studies of lesser-known avant-garde cinematic works, in addition to the works of artists like Andy Warhol and Nam June Paik, and argues that these works radically explore cinema's outer limits, even challenging the definition of cinema itself.
let me simply praise his massive undertaking in revisiting works that are difficult to write about as they are rarely permanently available for study. Writing about installations, especially ones requiring hours of contemplation, is challenging, and Walley's work in gathering these works together to be reconsidered is much appreciated.
Essential.
Jonathan Walley's encyclopedic treatment of expanded cinema both historicizes the genre and — in its detailed attention to a new generation of practitioners — brings it up to date. Frequently polemical, Walley's analytical, modernist, and avowedly revisionist account is perhaps the first book to fully articulate the stakes of such expanded practices within the history of cinema proper.
Jonathan Walley is Associate Professor of Cinema at Denison University. His writing has appeared in October, Millenium Film Journal, Moving Image Review and Art Journal, and in numerous collections of scholarship on avant-garde film and art.
