This inquiry takes shape across chapters on the politics of post-internet art aesthetics; the sublime and possessive individualism in recent \"critical\" art; Cady Noland's security fences, and silkscreens of the Symbionese Liberation Army; and mutuality, secrecy, and improvisation in the work of Ima-Abasi Okon. Larne Abse Gogarty discusses the relationship between culture and contemporary politics, following on from David Lloyd's proposition that through its compensatory qualities, the aesthetic sphere naturalizes forms of life lived under the rule of property. What kind of art can work against this? Can art exist as a conspiracy capable of corroding that rule?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Larne Abse Gogarty\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3956795628\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783956795626\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sternberg Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/06\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs","brand":"Larne Abse Gogarty","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44213394178303,"sku":"9783956795626","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d5781db7-eb43-45c0-9a5b-e3663b716d24.jpg?v=1692113638","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/what-we-do-is-secret-larne-abse-gogarty-9783956795626","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
