This book examines how 'citizen art' practices perform new kinds of
politics, as distinct from normative (status, participatory and
cosmopolitan) models. It contends that at a time in which the
conditions of citizenship have been radically altered (e.g., by the
increased securitization and individuation of bodies etc.), there
is an urgent drive for 'citizen art' to be enacted as a tool for
assessing the 'hollowed out' conditions of citizenship. 'Citizen
art', it shows, stands apart from other forms of Art by performing
'acts of citizenship' that reveal and transgress the limitations of
state-centred citizenship regimes, whilst simultaneously enacting
genuinely alternative modes of (non-statist) citizenship. This book
explains how 'citizen art' can make citizenship manifest in ways
that do not reify or valorize the nation-state, status rights, or
cosmopolitan imaginaries. It shows instead that the outcomes of
'citizen art', such as the institutions of solidarity, assembly and
interventions, reconfigure the 'tools' of politics in the act of
'doing politics' that, in turn, perform new and nascent modes of
(non-statist) citizenship. This book offers a new formulation of
'citizen art' - one that is interrogated on both critical and
material levels, and as such, that remodels the foundations on
which citizenship is conceived, performed and instituted.
