Paperback. Num Pages: 208 pages. BIC Classification: ABA; AC. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 198 x 129. Weight in Grams: 367.
Bad New Days examines the evolution of art and criticism in Western Europe and North America over the last twenty-five years, exploring their dynamic relation to the general condition of emergency instilled by neoliberalism and the war on terror.
Considering the work of artists such as Thomas Hirschhorn, Tacita Dean, and Isa Genzken, and the writing of thinkers like Jacques Rancière, Bruno Latour, and Giorgio Agamben, Hal Foster shows the ways in which art has anticipated this condition, at times resisting the collapse of the social contract or gesturing toward its repair; at other times burlesquing it.

Reviews for Bad New Days: Art, Criticism, Emergency
