Resistance Anew - Paperback

by Bernard Fibicher (Editor)

Published to accompany a major exhibition held at the Musée cantonal des Beaux-Arts de Lausanne during spring 2022 (18 February - 15 May), which gathers together works by, among others, Miriam Cahn, Michel François, Philip Guston, Thomas Hirschhorn, William Kentridge, Sigalit Landau, Nalini Malani, Teresa Margolles, Zanele Muholi, and Félix Vallotton, this volume of newly commissioned essays by leading international philosophers, cultural theoreticians, activists, and art historians acts as a reader for the theories and practices of resistance today. From specific case studies on artists (Nalini Malani) and recent events (StrikeMoMA, "artwashing") to global reflections and philosophical essays about what it means and how to resist today, this book offers a polyphonic thinking about a burning topic in our ever more complex global world.
