The stage, the street, and the institution ; Staging the political: (counter)publics and the theatricality of acting ; Dancing politics: political reflections on choreography, dance, and protest ; Art, space, and the public sphere(s): on public art, urbanism, and political theory ; The curatorial function: organizing the ex/position ; The globalization of art and the 'biennials of resistance': a history of the biennials from the periphery ; Time loops: a postscript on pre-enactments.. - A new wave of artistic activism has emerged in recent years in response to the ever-increasing dominance of authoritarian neoliberalism. Activist practices in the art field, however, have been around much longer. As Oliver Marchart claims, there has always been an activist undercurrent in art. In this book he traces trajectories of artistic activism in theater, dance, performance, and public art, and investigates the political potential of urbanism, curating, and “biennials of resistance.” What emerges is a conflictual aesthetics that does not conform with traditional approaches to the field and that activates the political potential of artistic practice.
