The Anecdote

  • 1. University of Chicago

Description

Kuala Lumpur-based art critic Lee Weng-Choy and University of Chicago historian Mark Philip Bradley are working on parallel projects that explore the conditions of contemporary art practice in Southeast Asia. Here they discuss how Walter Benjamin's notion of the anecdote and the recent archival turn by visual artists together offer generative questions for their own thought and writing.
