It builds on a major exhibition at Haus der Kulturen der Welt (2017-18) that took as its starting point the Congress for Cultural Freedom (CCF)--an organization covertly funded by the Central Intelligence Agency in order to steer the Left away from its remaining commitment to communism. Paying particular attention to CCF activities in the non-European world during a period of decolonization and the Civil Rights Movement, \u003ci\u003eParapolitics\u003c\/i\u003e assembles archival documentation from five continents alongside a selection of historical artworks to explore the context in which artists negotiated the framing and meaning of their work. A rich reference book for future researchers and everybody interested in the legacy of modernism, the publication also presents more than thirty newly commissioned contributions by contemporary artists and scholars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anselm Franke\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3956795083\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783956795084\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sternberg Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/24\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 616\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.61h x 8.60w x 1.52d","brand":"Anselm Franke","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44048863428863,"sku":"9783956795084","price":44.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6166977c-a3d0-473b-8167-1032236978ee.jpg?v=1684998258","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/parapolitics-anselm-franke-9783956795084","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
