520 Byzantine art is normally explained as devotional,
historical, highly intellectualized, but this book argues
for an experiential necessity for a fuller, deeper, more
ethical approach to this art. Written in response to an
exhibition the author curated at The Menil Collection in
2013, these essays challenge us to search for novel ways
to explore and interrogate the art of this distant
culture. They marshal diverse disciplines-modern art,
environmental theory, anthropology-to argue that Byzantine
culture formed a special kind of Christian animism. While
completely foreign to our world, that animism still holds
important lessons for approaches to our own relations to
the world. Mutual probings of subject and art, of past and
present, arise in these essays-some new and some
previously published-and new explanations therefore open
up that will interest historians of art, museum
professionals, and anyone interested in how art makes and
remakes the world.
