Beginning in the mid-2010s with a critique of the failings of liberalism, evolving through books on iconoclasm and artivism, Adams found his assumptions falling away. Experience of the collapse of the public arts and political consensus-as well as encountering writings by perennial traditionalists-led Adams to address the essence of being an artist in his writings, gathered in one book for the first time.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHow to Start a Dissident Art Movement is a collection of polemical art essays, speeches, manifestoes and personal reflections (many previously unpublished) that develop arguments in Adams's previous books. This book acts as a challenge and invitation to ambitious artists today by outlining the inner conflicts many experience. Focussing on core issues, How to Start a Dissident Art Movement steps over criticism of institutions and instead warns of fake traditionalism and the illusory hope of localism, calling for a reconsideration of Modernist art and the establishment of parallel networks. Included is a selection of mordant and revealing private letters by the author, which discuss great art, name sources of inspiration and consider problems faced by working artists.","brand":"Imperium Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53743862743382,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/adams-alexander-how-to-start-a-dissident-art-movement-9781923478244","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
