Charnley Kim (The Open University Uk) - Sociopolitical Aesthetics Art Crisis And Neoliberalism - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: Since the turn of the millennium protests meetings schoolrooms reading groups and many other social forms have been proposed as artworks or more ambiguously as interventions that are somewhere between art and politics. This book surveys the resurgence of politicized art tracing key currents of theory and practice and mapping them against the dominant experience of the last decade: crisis. Drawing upon leading artists and theorists within this field including Hito Steyerl Marina Vishmidt Art & Language Gregory Sholette John Roberts and Dave Beech this book argues for a new interpretation of the relationship between socially - engaged art and neoliberalism. Kim Charnley explores the possibility that neoliberalism has destabilized the art system so that it is no longer able to absorb and neutralize dissent. As a result the relationship between aesthetics and politics is experienced with fresh urgency and militancy.
