Summary
Dejan Sretenović: The Art of Appropriation
The book "The Art of Appropriation", consisting of ten thematic chapters (Birth of Modern Appropriation, Constellation of Readymades, Montage: Cut and Connection, Power of Technical Reproduction, Art about Art, Original Copy, Appropriation and Society, Subject of Appropriation, Appropriation as a Transgression, Post-Appropriation Art) and numerous sections, maps the territory or situational fields of appropriation, redefines terminologies and creates contexts in which the art of appropriation can be studied and discussed.
Starting from the basic definition of appropriation as adopting something for one's own use, the book "The Art of Appropriation" reveals and interprets a number of imaginative ways in which artists in the creation of a work of art used existing art and cultural artifacts through the procedures of displacement, naming, montage, citation, variation, copying, simulation, parody, plagiarism and fig.
