#3: Art, Activism and Recuperation

The latest issue of Arnolfini's Concept Store journal, themed Art, 
Activism and Recuperation is out now.

This third edition examines the wider contemporary relationship between 
art and politics. What are the power relations between art, activists 
and cultural institutions? Who ultimately benefits from these 
relationships? What critical role can art and/or activism really have in 
a situation where radicalism is absorbed by the mainstream? And under 
such conditions what are effective strategies of opposition? But, above 
all, the question asked by Concept Store #3 is, what is to be done (with 
art?)

Contributors: Glenn Adamson, Tatiana Bazzichelli, Franco Berardi (Bifo), 
Thomas Hirschhorn, Brian Holmes, Ele Carpenter, Freee, Esther Leslie, 
Geoff Cox, James Panton, Institute for the Art&  Practice of Dissent at 
Home, Platform, Lars Bang Larsen, Sarat Maharaj, Nav Haq, Sevphen 
Shukaitis, Tom Trevor, Mark Wallinger. Designed by Message&  Meaning

Concept Store is a journal published twice-yearly by Arnolfini, focusing 
on critical issues of contemporary art and their relationship to wider 
cultural, social and political contexts. While Concept Store reflects 
upon ideas explored within Arnolfini’s artistic programme, it is 
intended to be a critical platform in its own right, operating as a 
discursive space for commissioned texts, artists’ contributions, 
interviews and other experimental forms. Each issue guest-designed by a 
different practitioner.

Alongside the latest edition, previous issues, #1 Art, Consumerism and 
the Experience Economy&  #2 Possible, Probable and Preferable Futures, 
are also available from Arnolfini bookshop priced £5.95.
