How do we make sense of politically committed art in a contemporary context where revolution has supposedly died or is deemed impossible? What can the afterlives of performance art tell us about the historical past, including the promises and contradictions of revolutionary time?\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStuart Brisley is a pioneering English multi-media artist who developed performance as a form of social action in the 1960s and 1970s.

It uses the 'trope' of the French Revolution to investigate Brisley's engagement with the idea of revolution as an ongoing and potentially permanent process. Brisley's work thus becomes a fascinating stage for addressing the relations between art, politics and historical discourse today. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003ePerformance art and revolution\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates how we can continue to value political art even when the idea of revolution has supposedly died or is no longer deemed possible. It also provides a new historical model for situating the 'afterlives' of performance art, demonstrating how they can be used to reveal latent aspects of the past, including the historical experience of revolution.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSanja Perovic \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor of French Literature and Cultural History at King's College London\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 264\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.55 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 03, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47464362574077,"sku":"9781526190796","price":70.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/MJJA26aVcx9781526190796.webp?v=1777261199","url":"https:\/\/booktolia.com\/products\/performance-art-and-revolution-stuart-brisleys-cuts-in-time-paperback","provider":"booktolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
