| Description: | Essential essays on art in our current era from one of the most important art critics writing today. “This kaleidoscopic collection will help you see and comprehend the world anew—which is, in my book, what good art should do.” In these incisive essays, art critic Ben Davis makes sense of our extreme present as an emerging "after-culture"—a culture whose forms and functions are being radically reshaped by cataclysmic events. In the face of catastrophe, he holds out hope that reckoning with the new realities of art, technology, activism, and the media, can help us weather the super-storms of the future. |
