Contents:
Introduction : the piracy of art by Sylvere Lotringer -- The conspiracy of art -- A conjuration of imbeciles -- In the kingdom of the blind ... -- Starting from Andy Warhol -- Art between utopia and anticipation -- No nostalgia for old aesthetic values -- La Commedia dell'Arte -- Too much is too much -- Art contemporary ... of itself -- Towards the vanishing point of art -- Aesthetic illusion and disillusion -- The implosion of Beaubourg -- The violence of indifference -- Viral economy -- Radical thought -- Dust breeding -- Telemorphosis -- The matrix revisited -- War porn -- Pataphysics -- Forget Artaud (Jean Baudrillard / Sylvere Lotringer).
Review: "In 1996 Jean Baudrillard scandalized the art world by denouncing a "conspiracy" of art. But most missed the point. He wasn't attacking art, because art has ceased to exist - only its claim to privilege. Spiraling from aesthetic nullity to commercial frenzy, art has entered a "transaesthetic" state. The Conspiracy of Art examines its complicitous dance with politics, economics, and media, including Abu Ghraib's reality show. Baudrillard reveals the premises of his "radical thought" in the absurdist logic of pataphysics (his first unpublished text on Alfred Jarry), and in the Theater of Cruelty (a talk on Antonin Artaud with life-long collaborator Sylvere Lotringer)."--BOOK JACKET.
