It is also an inquiry into emergent ways of living, acting, and making art in the company of others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe apparent failures of liberal thinking mark its starting point. No longer can the framework of the nation-state, the figure of the enterprising individual, and the premise of limitless development be counted on to produce a world worth living in. No longer can talk of inclusion, representation, or a neutral public sphere pass for something like equality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is increasingly clear that these commonplace liberal conceptions have failed to improve life in any lasting way. In fact, they conceal fundamental connections to enslavement, conscription, colonization, moral debt, and ecological devastation. Now we must decide what comes after.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe essays in this book attempt to register these connections by following itinerant artists, artworks, and art publics as they move across comparative political environments. The book thus provides a range of speculations about art and social experience after liberal modernity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFeaturing a conversation with Amin Husain and Nitasha Dhillon of MTL Collective.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mobile-about-the-book\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"seemore-0\" class=\"slot product-about 9781584351115 isbn-related seemoreenable show opened\"\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"overview\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mobile-listen-to-a-clip\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mobile-also-in-series\"\u003e\n\u003ca id=\"alsoinseries\" name=\"#alsoinseries\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"slot series-also-in 9781584351115 isbn-related show\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"in-series\" class=\"product-series-also-in\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"ICA Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57489968005504,"sku":null,"price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0012\/4390\/6109\/files\/919heSjrPxL._SY522.jpg?v=1772456996","url":"https:\/\/shop.ica.art\/products\/nicolas-gamso-art-after-liberalism","provider":"ICA Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
