Summary
  • "The essays collected in this pamphlet provide an indication of the breadth of objections to the mental set 'art'; simultaneously they may be read as an attempt to open up and explore received ideas of strike action, 'reality', identity, individuality, value and truth. ... The writing collected here deals not only with the Art Strike itself: it represents an attempt to place the strike in a broader context"--Page 1.
  • "While Capital effortlessly recuperates all activities directed against its logic, it has been decisively outflanked by those who refuse to do anything. The negative power of the masses, of their slack, of their refusal of creativity, threatens to destroy the material base of our alienated society. The Art Strike Handbook provides a step by step guide to speeding up this process"--Back cover.
