Synopsis

About this ItemThe item is a book PaperbackThe Author Name is Manuel Arturo AbreuThe Title is Incalculable LossCondition NewOther CommentsNew Store StockProduct Description -Incalculable Loss is the debut collection of critical prose from artist and poet manuel arturo abreu. In their own words, the text "orbits the topics of art, race, tech, and feelings," gathering writing from 2014 to 2018 and presenting a kind of paean to the critical position, which is often maligned as parasitic or paradoxical. With a sense of casual rigor and flippancy, the included texts tackle themes from the problems of theorizing cannibalism, the violence of modernism in art via theft of Black and brown aesthetics, the commodification of identity, and the ways in which Big Data makes all of "us" newly complicit in the death and violence that powers the global system. Originally titled Against Theory- as in both anti-theory and rubbing up on its surface - abreu's text offers various modes of recalibrating one's own thinking, showing that if one truly loves knowledge, one must let it go.Copy-editing: Amanda HurtadoDesign: Rafaela DražicWhen possible we will add details of the items we are selling to help buyers know what is included in the item for sale.
