• Summary:"Dematerialization studies experimental works and critical discourses that questioned the organicity, social autonomy, and techniques of modern art and industrial design in Argentina, Mexico, and Chile in the 1960s and 70s. More than merely describing the appearance of the object, the book proposes dematerialization as a concept that allows us to see how their work mobilized the materiality of art and design as a way of figuring the movement by which the social reflects upon its historical conditions and by which the aesthetic qualities and contingent sociocultural content of art and design objects function as the inextricable 'stuff' of this thought"-- Provided by publisher.
