The documents in this book, written over a 50-year period, describe these and subsequent efforts by the Wises to subvert the 'recuperation' of 'art' into the capitalist culture industry.\u003cbr\u003eIn reflection on their engagements with like-minded radicals - the English and French Situationists, New York's Black Mask collective, the London-based King Mob, and more recent formations - the authors consider how and why the Revolution 'due to unforeseen circumstances' did not take place. They also analyze the recuperation of radical aesthetic ideas in the works of latter-day chancers like Damian Hurst and Banksy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Black, David And Stuart Wise\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798326156655\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/21\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.35d","brand":"David Black","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46025035645183,"sku":"9798326156655","price":12.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6be843b1-c202-4e41-89c7-f729f610fd2d.jpg?v=1723129822","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/king-mob-david-black-9798326156655","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
