Four short essays on notions of abjection in American art by Whitney ISP students (ca 1992). So far, I have read "The Phobic Object: Abjection in Contemporary Art" by Simon Taylor and enjoyed it both as a discussion of a few specific artists I am interested in (John Miller, David Hammons, Cindy Sherman, Kiki Smith, Mike Kelley) and as touchstone pointing towards various theorists' framing of related issues.
