and at the same time exploring how radical art practices might contribute to a politics rooted in an ethics of care.

The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, studio art, philosophy, and politics.

So this is finally coming out in early December.

Is anyone interested to write a review? Can send over an advance copy (physical or digital) if so. DM me if interested, and by all means share the invitation.

Here’s the blurb:

Through developing an ethical-methodological approach of ‘radical care,’ this book explores how critical artistic practice might contribute to the materialisation of more equal, more collectively fulfilling, possibilities of being.

[Adam Walker @adamjbwalker]

growing determination of increasing parts of our world, and foregrounds art’s position amidst these. It also functions as an interface, both extending the fertile current discourse around care to a contemporary art focus,

[Adam Walker @adamjbwalker]

and radical care and the disruptive arttext are developed as twin aspects of an alternative, resistant framework. The book contributes to the critical understanding of inequitable, abstracting processes’

[Adam Walker @adamjbwalker]

Chapters trace a set of interweaving lineages perpetuating inequalities: through labour, the body, and onto-epistemology. Art’s all too frequent a-criticality, cooption, or even complicity amidst these lineages is observed
