Brutalist Readings
In Cultural Revolution, Amsterdam-based historian and critic Sven Lu'tticken (b. 1971) looks at art and other forms of aesthetic practice in the context of our rapidly expanding and transforming cultural sphere. Addressing the renewed relevance of the notion of autonomy in a situation in which the autonomy of art is a stale, historical joke, Lu'tticken examines practices ranging from Black Mask to Subversive Aktion, from 1960s Dutch activist group Provo to Occupy, from Wet Dreams to Metahaven, and from New World Academy to Gulf Labor. Across the pages of this book, Scarlett Johansson meets Paul Chan, and Dr. Zira from Planet of the Apes mingles with Paul Lafargue, Rudi Dutschke and Alexandre Kojeve.

Author of Sternberg titles History in Motion (2013) and Idols of the Market (2009).
