Martin Patrick explores the ways in which contemporary artists across media continue to reinvent art that straddles both public and private spheres. Examining the impact of various art movements on notions of performance, authorship, and identity, Across the Art/Life Divide argues that the most defining feature of contemporary art is the ongoing interest of artists in the problematic relationship between art and life. Looking at underexamined forms, such as stand-up comedy and sketch shows, alongside more traditional artistic media, he situates the work of a wide range of contemporary artists to ask: To what extent are artists presenting themselves? And does the portrayal of the "self" in art necessarily constitute authenticity? By dissecting the meta-conditions and contexts surrounding the production of art, Across the Art/Life Divide examines how ordinary, everyday life is transformed into art.
Two Black Brits who fear that going to America will cost them their lives, inspire former Rogue Agents and the British Government to set up a Protection Service. Sir Albert Collins is England’s greatest Black Shakespearean actor who has been offered the starring role of Othello on Broadway, but he fears that he’ll be killed by cops in America, so he’s reluctant to go. Dominic Harris is a successful Black British sales manager who has to fight to stop his vicious boss from sending him to America where he hopes Dominic will be killed by the cops. Both men rely on the Bankolés, Britain’s most powerful Black family, who have a relationship with Anglo-American Secret Service rogue agents headed by Lord Mowbray, one of the top men in British Intelligence. This results in sexual entrapment, robbery, covert deceptions, public humiliations, and death.
