Abstract
Steve Baker’s Artist/Animal focuses on a collection of interviews with contemporary artists whose work engages with nonhuman animal life. The text centralizes artists+ voices regarding their interpretations and interactions with animals and their art. Through a mix of both interviews and posthumanist theory, Baker provides context for artists who use animals in their work, either figuratively or literally, or both. Against reactivity and moralizing, Baker+s thesis concentrates on the key importance of attention in relation to art.
