But what kind of discourse can open it up effectively to critical analysis? \u003ci\u003eAnywhere or Not at All\u003c\/i\u003e is a major philosophical intervention in art theory that challenges the terms of established positions through a new approach at once philosophical, historical, social and art-critical. Developing the position that \"contemporary art is postconceptual art,\" the book progresses through a dual series of conceptual constructions and interpretations of particular works to assess the art from a number of perspectives: contemporaneity and its global context; art against aesthetic; the Romantic pre-history of conceptual art; the multiplicity of modernisms; transcategoriality; conceptual abstraction; photographic ontology; digitalization; and the institutional and existential complexities of art-space and art-time. \u003ci\u003eAnywhere or Not at All\u003c\/i\u003e maps out the conceptual space for an art that is both critical and contemporary in the era of global capitalism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eWinner of the 2014 Annual Book Prize of the Association for the Study of the Arts of the Present (USA)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeter Osborne\u003c\/b\u003e is professor of modern European philosophy at KingstonUniversity, London, and an editor of the journal \u003ci\u003eRadical Philosophy\u003c\/i\u003e.
