OVERIDENTIFICATION AND/OR BUST?
Public discussion with Stevphen Shukaitis on issues raised by the publication: Cultural Activism Today - The Art of Over-Identification
Uisge Beatha - 232 Woodlands Road - Glasgow G3 6ND  (Kelvinbridge U)

If, as claimed within the autonomist tradition, capitalism derives its lifeblood from attempts to negate it, where does this leave the position of the subversive artist? Of the aesthetics of resistance? Instead of succumbing to society’s demand for small creative acts, should artists over-identify with the ruling, post-historical order and take the latter’s immanent laws to their most extreme, dystopian consequences?

Join us for a meander through the 'Creative' think-wonkery of structural maladjustment, from the urban deployment of the Rebel Clown Army to the perverse counter-play of The Yes Men, and beyond...
