About the Book

This book presents a rigorous and wide-ranging interrogation of the concept of 'critique' in relation to art and critical theory.

The book is divided into three parts. The first part, "The Spectacle of Critique," examines the ways in which critique has been theorized and practiced in the field of art history. The second part, "The Critique of the Spectacle," explores the ways in which artists have used their work to critique the dominant social and political Free Download. The third part, "The Future of Critique," considers the challenges and possibilities for critique in the contemporary world.
