Wearable art for street demonstrations or art that sets up a booth at a trade show? This is the art of the interventionists  who trespass into the everyday world to raise our awareness of injustice and other social problems. These artists dont preach or proselytize; they give us the tools to form our own opinions and create our own political actions. The Interventionists  which accompanies an exhibit at MASS MoCA  serves as a handbook to this new and varied work. Its a users guide to art that is exciting  provocative  unexpected  inspiring (artistically and politically)  and fun. From Michael Rakowitzs inflatable homeless shelter and William Pope.Ls \"Black Factory\" truck with pulverizer  gift shop  and giant inflatable igloo to the Biotic Baking Brigades political pie-throwing  the art of The Interventionists surveys a growing genre and offers a guide for radical social action.The book classifies the artists according to their choice of tactics: the Nomads  who create mobile projects; Reclaim the Streets  artists who act in public places; Tools for Resistance: Ready to Wear  artists who produce fashion for political action; and the Experimental University  artists whose work engages pedagogy and theory. The accompanying text includes essays by noted scholars putting the work in a broader cultural and social context as well as texts by the artists themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44946213371957,"sku":"ByrdShop_026220150X","price":54.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780262201506.jpg?v=1769929789","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-interventionists-users-manual-for-the-creative-disuption-of-everyday-life","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
