Re: [NetBehaviour] Read this about Gilbert George in the Evening Standard yesterday
Hi Bob
It looks as though their talent is in performance - so their last 40
years of work has been one continuous performance, where they portray
themselves as english gents, rather comical, very thomas like, hinge
bracket, and at the same time make pictures that look like their
making political statement. But they're not making political
statements I think because the political aspect for them is merely
part of the game they are playing - are they fascists or socialists -
based on their lifestyle, their pictures and their interviews to the
press. In that way their work , though it may look as though it's
making some sort of social comment, is really more about aesthetics,
and so though it looks political, it's not - it's fake. There's no
feeling there - nothing to say. Social comment aesthetics without the
comment.

There's a very interesting - nearly hidden nowadays - history of discussion,
debate and more on this.
Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot more all demanded a politico/ethical dimension to art
(see socialist realism which, of course, was neither socialist not realist
) with horrifying results.
In contrast, Trotsky, thoughout his life and Lenin, at the end of his, both
argued against attempts to embed ethico/political positions in art.
Unfortunately even amongst those who abhor the Stalinist tradition in all
other respects there is still huge confusion on the question.
I put this down to art, quite understandably, not being seen in the first
rank of importance when one is engaged in a life and death struggle for the
survival of an authentic Marxist politics of human liberation as opposed to
its Stalinist/Maoist negation...
( although even at midnight in the century, with the seemingly inexorable
rise of Hitler and Stalin and the reduction of the voices of authentic
Marxism to a few hundred, Trostky was involved in discussions and joint
writings with Breton about art and freedom)
Any of Trotsky's writings on art repay reading as does the tremendous Art
as the Coginiton of Life by Voronsky...

Michael,
You make an intriguing and thought-provoking point which I'm going to have
to ponder further. I've always seen values ('ethics') inherent in the form
and sensibility of artistic work. For example, I'm not surprised that much
of the work GG have produced in the last two decades has been visually

Being Social: Furtherfield's first exhibition in Finsbury Park asks some tough questions about our relationship with social media. Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, blogs, Flickr...so many ways to share all our waking moments, the highs and lows, the funny and the tragic. Chances are, you are all using some form of social media, even if only membership of Harringay Online. Does this new technology change us? More and more, people, especially the young, are sharing intimate details and feelings online, where they can be accessed easily by strangers. Being Social, the new exhibition at Furtherfield’s gallery in Finsbury Park explores our relationship with social technology and asks questions about our willingness to share so much of ourselves. All the exhibits are fascinating; these are the ones that particularly provoked a reaction from me...

[NetBehaviour] Damien Hirst and the great art market heist.
Damien Hirst and the great art market heist. Hirst is the world's richest artist and the Tate's big retrospective will mark the zenith of his power. But when his stock falls, how will an art world in thrall to big money respond? Hirst is not only the world's richest artist, but a transformative figure who can be assured of his place in history. Sadly – for him and for us – this is not because of the quality of his work but because he has almost single-handedly remade the global art market in his image: that is to say, the image of the artist as celebrity clown, the licensed working-class fool who not only shits on us from on top of his pile of cash, but persuades us to buy that shit and beg for more. This cockney chancer routine, perfected in the 60s by the likes of David Bailey and Keith Moon, has deep roots in British pop culture. We have a lot of affection for guys like these, who seem to be getting away with it, sticking it to the man. http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/2012/mar/16/damien-hirst-art-market ___ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour

Building on the notion of “trans” from transgender, signifying the crossing of boundaries, the book proposes that transreal aesthetics cross the boundaries created by a proliferation of conceptions of reality that occurred as a result of postmodern theory and emerging technologies. Proposing three operations for dealing with multiple realities, The Transreal discusses artists and art collectives including Blast Theory, mez breeze, Reza Negarestani, Ricardo Dominguez and Zach Blas. Through these artists’ work and Cárdenas’ own artwork, including Becoming Dragon and collaborations with Elle Mehrmand Becoming Transreal, technésexual and virus.circus, The Transreal demonstrates that transreal aesthetics have broad implications across new media, performance art and electronic literature. The book spans a wide range of genres including theoretical analyses of artworks, poetry, source code, photos of performances and wearable electronics, and discussions with leading thinkers in new media and performance art including Stelarc, Allucquére Rosanne Stone and Ricardo Dominguez.
