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.
