In Surrealist sabotage and the war on work, art historian Abigail
Susik uncovers the expansive parameters of the international
surrealist movement's ongoing engagement with an aesthetics of
sabotage between the 1920s and the 1970s, demonstrating how
surrealists unceasingly sought to transform the work of art into a
form of unmanageable anti-work. In four case studies devoted to
surrealism's transatlantic war on work, Susik analyses how artworks
and texts by Man Ray, Andre Breton, Simone Breton, Andre Thirion,
Oscar Dominguez, Konrad Klapheck, and the Chicago surrealists,
among others, were pivotally impacted by the intransigent
surrealist concepts of principled work refusal, permanent strike,
and autonomous pleasure. Underscoring surrealism's profound
relevance for readers engaged in ongoing debates about gendered
labour and the wage gap, endemic over-work and exploitation, and
the vicissitudes of knowledge work and the gig economy, Surrealist
sabotage and the war on work reveals that surrealism's creative
work refusal retains immense relevance in our wired world. -- .
