Description
Summary:[...] The Moment of Caravaggio stands or falls, as art history mostly should, by the intensity and detail of its accounts of specific works: by its ability to extract a painting from the ordinary round of "formal analysis," iconography, and "contextualization" and put the reader/viewer almost physically in a new kind of contact with it. Around the discussion are featured scripts of the group's films, texts (commissioned or preexisting), and a cleverly designed time line that wraps around everything as if in an embrace - all spiral bound beneath a yellow shell.
