Art and Postcapitalism by Dave Beech
What can art tell us about a postcapitalist future?
'Amplifying his previous defence of art's unique anti-capitalist status, Beech challenges post-capitalist fantasies envisioning either a future society of artists, or a utopia of aestheticised labourI know of no other writer who so clearly lays-out the stakes regarding arts relation to value production, or what might follow upon capital's elimination' -- Gregory Sholette, author of 'Dark Matter' and 'Delirium and Resistance' (Pluto Press)
'Filled with thrilling uncomfortable insights, 'Art and Postcapitalism' offers a unique critical position that rubs against the grain. With this timely intervention, Dave Beech solidifies his position as the voice to follow in the discourse on art and labour' -- Paul Mason, author of 'Postcapitalism: A Guide to Our Future'
