Items related to Revolutionary Time and the Avant Garde
Since the decidedly bleak beginning of the twenty-first century, art practice has become increasingly politicized. Yet, few sustained defenses of the avant-garde have been put forward. Revolutionary Time and the Avant-Garde is the first book of its kind to look at the legacy of the avant- garde in relation to the deepening crisis of capitalist non-reproduction.

Review:
Revolutionary Time and the Avant-Garde is without question the most informed, cogent, and intellectually grounded defence of avant-garde praxis today. Roberts provides a vision of art that is disabused of the business models of the neoliberal culture industries, that neither dissolves politics into art nor attempts to insulate art from functioning as an emancipatory revolutionary force. --Marc James Léger, author of Brave New Avant Garde and The Neoliberal Undead
Over the last two decades, John Roberts has established himself as probably the most original Marxist critic of the contemporary visual arts around. --Andrew Hemingway
