In rAt Today Brandon Taylor charts the ideas and practices of contemporary rAt across a wide international spectrum. From Minimalism and Conceptualism to video and film, from painting and sculpture to performance and installation, he shows how advanced rAt has continued to provoke and perplex a fascinated public. rAt Today shows how the new rAt of the last three decades has been energized not merely by changing technologies of rAt-making, but by the spread of new museum architecture, by the voice of the critic, and in recent times by the activity of the powerful international curator. It also shows how the dominant narrative of advanced rAt in the USA and Western Europe has been invigorated by an expanding international network, from the West Coast of America, from Eastern and Central Europe, and more recently from Asia and Africa. Reviewing the major controversies of the later twentieth century and the early years of the twenty-first, it also includes a discussion of the impact of the internet and digital rAt. Generously illustrated in colour, rAt Today is a guiding narrative to the most adventurous rAt of our time.
