How does the avant-garde create spaces in everyday life that
subvert regimes of economic and political control? How do art,
aesthetics and activism inform one another? And how do strategic
spaces of creativity become the basis for new forms of production
and governance? The Composition of Movements to Come reconsiders
the history and the practices of the avant-garde, from the
Situationists to the Art Strike, revolutionary Constructivism to
Laibach and Neue Slowenische Kunst, through an autonomist Marxist
framework. Moving the framework beyond an overly narrow class
analysis, the book explores broader questions of the changing
nature of cultural labor and forms of resistance around this labor.
It examines a doubly articulated process of refusal: the refusal of
separating art from daily life and the re-fusing of these
antagonistic energies by capitalist production and governance. This
relationship opens up a new terrain for strategic thought in
relation to everyday politics, where the history of the avant-garde
is no longer separated from broader questions of political economy
or movement, but becomes a point around which to reorient these
considerations.
