Jennifer Fisher‘s research examines contemporary art, curatorial practice, display culture, the affective

turn in art and criticism, and the aesthetics of the non-visual senses. She is a founding member of the

curatorial collaborative DisplayCult.

This definitive anthology brings together texts, interviews, and artists’ projects that centre on the theme

of intuition. The contributors address facets of the sixth sense in art and culture from a wide range of

perspectives, including those of visual, performance and new media art, cultural theory, art history,

psychology, curating, and theatre.
