This is an announcement for an exhibition looking at several different historical moments through the lens of artists engagement with politics. A review in Artforum is here.
Forms of Resistance
Artists and the desire for social change from 1871 to the present
From 22 September 2007 through to 6 January 2008
The exhibition Forms of Resistance reflects on art en live and departs from four historical moments: the French Commune in 1871, the Russian Revolution of 1917, May 1968 and our world after 9/11.
Based on these benchmarks it includes works by Manet, Courbet, Lissitzky, Rodchenko, Malevich, Brigada Ramona Parra, Atelier Populaire, Tucuman Arde, Sherk, Haacke, Johanesson, General Idea, Leonard, Piper, Ressler and Superflex amongst others.
The exhibition will be accompanied by a publication.
