“A vital and much-needed contribution to the literature on art and systems discourse. If the history of art has largely treated systems theory in terms of its technocratic implications in the 1960s, Nervous Systems expands the field to postwar and contemporary art, addressing race, gender, ecology, and global networks as among its most urgent questions.” - Pamela M. Lee, author of (Think Tank Aesthetics: Midcentury Modernism, the Cold War, and the Neoliberal Present) “Nervous Systems is one of the most impressive and conceptually nuanced collections of art historical essays that I have ever had the pleasure of reading. A model of what contemporary arts scholarship can look like, this volume is eminently readable and, most of all, teachable.” - Jonathan Eburne, author of (Outsider Theory: Intellectual Histories of Unorthodox Ideas)
