Chetwynd! -- Conclusion."There exists a series of contemporary artists who continually defy the traditional role of the artist/author, including Art & Language, Guerrilla Girls, Bob and Roberta Smith, Marvin Gaye Chetwynd and Lucky PDF. In Death of the Artist, Nicola McCartney explores their work and uses previously unpublished interviews to provoke a vital and nuanced discussion about contemporary artistic authorship. How do emerging artists navigate intellectual property or work collectively and share the recognition? How might a pseudonym aid 'artivism'? Most strikingly, she demonstrates how an alternative identity can challenge the art market and is symptomatic of greater cultural and political rebellion. As such, this book exposes the art world's financially incentivised infrastructures, but also examines how they might be reshaped from within. In an age of cuts to arts funding and forced self-promotion, this offers an important analysis of the pressing need for the artistic community to construct new ways to reinvent itself and incite fresh responses to its work."--Provided by publisherInternational library of modern and contemporary art ;26.Art world dissidents and their alternative identitiesArtistsInterviewsArtists20th centuryArtists21st centuryAuthorshipDissenters, ArtisticIdentity (Philosophical concept) in artTheory of artElectronic books.ArtistsArtistsArtistsAuthorship.Dissenters, Artistic.Identity (Philosophical concept) in art.701/.03700.411McCartney Nicola1066425Bloomsbury (Firm),ERASACaBNVSLCaBNVSLBOOK9910511690203321Death of the artist2549157UNINA
