THE GOSPEL OF REGICIDE takes the Gnostic text \u003cem\u003eThe Gospel of Judas\u003c\/em\u003e as a loose primer in the production of fundamental rupture. The book interrogates the construction of insurrection predicated on a designed\/planned treachery. It takes seriously the disconcerting claim that our current political narratives rely on biblical meaning--and fixates on the composition of rupture as poetic fodder. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Here, story itself becomes the very place that works against nostalgia, autobiography, the reification of memory in all its forms. Instead, Kim writes the void-pivot of 'a plot without faith.' By evoking a space that can't be catalogued or recuperated by conventional means, Kim is able to develop her work in the axial space of duration, performance and the extreme poetry that accompanies the 'revisions'  deletions, mutations] of both these scripts. GOSPEL OF REGICIDE is a brilliant book. I want to start a trans-global book club to think about it more.

Investigating historical legal and property claims, she argues that regimes of expropriation-rather than merit or good taste-are responsible for popular ideas of formal innovation and artistic genius. In doing so, she details how Marcel Duchamp’s canonization has more to do with his patron’s donations to museums than it does the quality of Duchamp’s work, and she uncovers the racialized and financialized logic behind the Archive of New Poetry’s collecting practices. Ranging from the conception of philanthropy devised by the robber barons of the late nineteenth century to ongoing digitization projects, Kim provides a new history of contemporary art that accounts for the complicated entanglement of race, capital, and labor behind storied art institutions and artists. Drawing on history, theory, and economics, Kim challenges received notions of artistic success and talent and calls for a new vision of art beyond the cultural institution.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51028833632529,"sku":"NIN9781478030485","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":52111262417169,"sku":"NGR9781478030485","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1478030488.jpg?v=1750892883"},{"product_id":"politics-of-collecting-book-eunsong-kim-9781478026242","title":"The Politics of Collecting","description":"In The Politics of Collecting, Eunsong Kim traces how racial capitalism and colonialism situated the rise of US museum collections and conceptual art forms.
