Art’s Emancipatory Promise Commodified But Also Recast
Wednesday, 3 June, 2020

This talk considers art's commodification and political potential, considering some recent critical views of art in a time of crisis (delivered at Cambridge English Faculty in Oct 2019). Four critical themes or re-castings of art's political potential are surveyed: Romanticism (incl. communist art / absolute art, Stewart Martin, Keston Sutherland, Nicholas Brown); Sabotage and Real Abstraction (incl. Annie McClanahan, Amy De'ath) Speculation Now (incl. Gail Day, Marina Vishmidt) Fanon and counter language (incl. Fanon, David Austin on Linton Kwesi Johnson, Nat Raha)
