{"product_id":"adam-turl-gothic-capitalism-9789526545929","title":"Gothic Capitalism","description":"As western capitalism outlives any sense of social development or progress, culture takes on an increasingly gothic hue. The ruins of our industrial heyday are illuminated by digital billboards. The cyber-utopianism of the early Internet has waned, exposing Silicon Valley's anti-democratic ideologies and economies. As a result, far-right governments and fascist movements replace our meagre democracies. Looking around there are no saviours. Politics is moribund, while artists, once the dreamers of the modernist avant-garde, have become institutionalized and weak. Our revolutionary dreams are in tatters. Gothic Capitalism argues that artists can salvage art's spiritual and social roots by reassociating our art with working-class communities, class struggle, and gothic capitalism's everyday contradictions.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\"Turl's ideas are an incitement, a reckoning - and perhaps even a way forward.\"- Holly Lewis, author of The Politics of Everybody\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\"A vital critique of the extractive machinery of the contemporary art world... this is not just a diagnosis - it's a call to arms.- Anupam Roy, artist\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\"At once a protest and a clearing of the path forward... a tour de force of Marxist art history.\"- Jyotsna Kapur, author of The Politics of Time and Youth in Brand India\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\"Summons avant-garde artists to break free from a market-driven art world whose institutions permit only capitalist dreams and nightmares -- and to produce art that is truly for the proletariat and its revolution.\"- Joe Shapiro, author of The Illiberal Imagination","brand":"Revol Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53699973218646,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9789526545929_1.jpg?v=1778864759","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/adam-turl-gothic-capitalism-9789526545929","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
