In What Was Contemporary Art? (MIT Press), Stanford University professor Richard Meyer argues for a history of contemporary art inspired by his students who contextualized the works of emerging artists with interviews and fragments of material residue from their studios. Meyer posits that art of the twenty-first century is not unmoored from history, but contemporary to the artist and culture from which it was produced. As he explains in this brief interview, a scholarly account of contemporary art based on research rather than formal critique of the work allows a viewer "to put what is happening today into conversation with what was happening, but no longer is." In addition to his scholarship, Meyer curated Naked Hollywood: Weegee in Los Angeles for the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles in 2011.
