Art and Revolution Transversal Activism in the Long Twentieth Century

Exploring the TRANSFORM effort further yielded Gerald Raunig’s Art and Revolution: Transversal Activism in the Long Twentieth Century.  An alternative art history of the “long twentieth century,”

Art and Revolution takes on the history of revolutionary transgressions and optimistically charts an emergence from its tales of tragic failure and unequivocal disaster. . . an indispensable, contemporary conception of political change—a conception that transcends the outmoded formulations of insurrection and resistance.

The introduction to the book, The Concatenation of Art and Revolution, was made available on the 16Beavers ARTicles website earlier this year.
