Publisher Description: Twenty-five artists who engage with the legacies of Orientalist figuration, modernist abstraction, monumental public art, conceptual art, and postmodern media theory in a postindependence context. Artists who belong to Algeria are caught between a national mythology that does not represent them and a historical space blanked out by state-sanctioned amnesia on both sides of the Mediterranean. This book presents the work of twenty-five such artists. They offer diverse representations of everyday life and are rigorously critical in their engagement with the legacies of Orientalist figuration, modernist abstraction, monumental public art, Conceptual art, and postmodern media theory after 1962, in a postindependence context.
