Oral History in the Visual Arts by Matthew Partington

Oral History in the Visual Arts by Matthew Partington

Interviews are becoming an increasingly dominant research method in art, craft, design, fashion and textile history. This groundbreaking text demonstrates how artists, writers and historians deploy interviews as creative practice, as 'history', and as a means to insights into the micro-practices of arts production and identity that contribute to questions of 'voice', authenticity, and authorship. Through a wide range of case studies from international scholars and practitioners across a variety of fields, the volume maps how oral history interviews contribute to a relational practice that is creative, rigorous and ethically grounded. Oral History in the Visual Arts is essential reading for students, researchers and practitioners across the visual arts.

A good introduction to various subjects relating to the function and use of oral history from the 20th and early 21st centuries* Textile Research Centre *
Oral History in the Visual Arts deliberately disrupts, unsettles and pivots the discourse on how both visual and intellectual observation functions; it opens up new possibilities in the ways in which the small stories of verbal communication transact with and reframe visual production. * Fashion, Society & Popular Culture *
