Description: Delinda Collier finds alternative concepts of mediation in African art by closely engaging with electricity-based works since 1944.
Review Quotes: "Delinda Collier's Media Primitivism is a remarkable journey into the intellectual development of twentieth-century African art and how art objects themselves resist the categories accorded to them. Theoretically sophisticated and brilliantly argued, Media Primitivism poses a serious challenge to those who like their African art suspended in a primordial past."--Steven Nelson, author of "From Cameroon to Paris: Mousgoum Architecture In and Out of Africa"
