Art in the After-Culture
Original price was: $13.99.$10.49Current price is: $10.49.
It is a peculiar moment for art, as it becomes both increasingly rarefied and associated with elite lifestyle culture, while simultaneously ubiquitous, with the boom of creative industries and the proliferation of new technologies for making art. In these important essays, Ben Davis covers everything from Instagram to artificial intelligence, eco-art to cultural appropriation. Critical, insightful, and hopeful even in the face of the apocalyptic, this is a must read for those looking to understand the current art world, as well as the role of the artist in the world today.
“This kaleidoscopic collection will help you see and comprehend the world anew—which is, in my book, what good art should do.” **—Astra Taylor** **It is a scary and disorienting time for art, as it is a scary and disorienting time in general.** Aesthetic experience is both overshadowed by the spectacle of current events and pressed into new connection with them. The self-image of art as a social good is collapsing under the weight of capitalism’s dysfunction. In these incisive essays, art critic Ben Davis makes sense of our extreme present as an emerging after-culture—a culture whose forms and functions are being radically reshaped by cataclysmic events. In the face of catastrophe, he holds out hope that reckoning with the new realities of art, technology, activism, and the media, can help us weather the super-storms of the future.
