Risquons-Tout: Planetary Artists Venture Into Risk, Unpredictability, and Transgression (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780300257694)

The work of 38 established and emerging artists explore the creative potential of risk-taking and transgression in contemporary life

The unconventional theme underlying the art featured in this book is the struggle between risk-taking and the prediction algorithms that have become a feature of contemporary life. Does the influence of machine intelligence, and the coincident avoidance of risk, homogenize creative thought? These ideas are explored in the work of 38 established and emerging artists in a variety of media including painting, drawing, sculpture, sculpture, video art, computer art, and performance. Featured artists include Jo?le Tuerlinckx, Ed Atkins, Esther Ferrer, Mounira Al Solh, and Shezad Dawoud. The book takes its title from a town on the French-Belgian border with a history as a well-known customs outpost.
