Accepting that knowledge is culturally constructed, Impossible Images makes explicit the ways in which context matters. It shows how the places where an artist works shape what is produced, in what ways the space in which a work of art is exhibited and how it is named influences what is seen or not seen, and how calling attention to certain details in a visual work, such as a gesture, a color, or an icon, can change the meaning assigned to the work as a whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten accessibly for a general readership and those interested in art and art history, the volume also includes 20 color plates from leading artists Alice Lok Cahana, Judy Chicago, Debbie Teicholz, and Mindy Weisel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eShelley Hornstein (Editor) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eShelley Hornstein\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor of Art and Architectural History at York University. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eLaurence J.
