Alberto Cossu's ethnographic research on the MACAO centre in Italy
radiates out to questions about what it means to be a modern
artist, and how much autonomy is left to the artist in a globalized
and politicised world. "Autonomous Art Institutions" provides a
unique perspective on the political engagement of artists in order
to investigate the reconfiguration of contemporary art practices as
they dissolve in social and economic processes. The book provides
insight into the making of a radical art institution across seven
years of activity, showing how social, cultural and economic
elements are appropriated and repurposed by artists in the process.
Based on years of sociological research as well as direct
involvement of the author in the artistic practices, the book
illuminates the spark of society-to-come by examining the doings of
artists as they attempt to disrupt the 'creative city'.
