Chetwynd! -- Conclusion. 330 $a"There exists a series of contemporary artists who continually defy the traditional role of the artist/author, including Art & Language, Guerrilla Girls, Bob and Roberta Smith, Marvin Gaye Chetwynd and Lucky PDF. In Death of the Artist, Nicola McCartney explores their work and uses previously unpublished interviews to provoke a vital and nuanced discussion about contemporary artistic authorship. How do emerging artists navigate intellectual property or work collectively and share the recognition? How might a pseudonym aid 'artivism'? Most strikingly, she demonstrates how an alternative identity can challenge the art market and is symptomatic of greater cultural and political rebellion. As such, this book exposes the art world's financially incentivised infrastructures, but also examines how they might be reshaped from within. In an age of cuts to arts funding and forced self-promotion, this offers an important analysis of the pressing need for the artistic community to construct new ways to reinvent itself and incite fresh responses to its work."--Provided by publisher 410 0$aInternational library of modern and contemporary art ;$v26. 517 3 $aArt world dissidents and their alternative identities 606 $aArtists$vInterviews 606 $aArtists$y20th century 606 $aArtists$y21st century 606 $aAuthorship 606 $aDissenters, Artistic 606 $aIdentity (Philosophical concept) in art 606 $2Theory of art 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aArtists 615 0$aArtists 615 0$aArtists 615 0$aAuthorship. 615 0$aDissenters, Artistic. 615 0$aIdentity (Philosophical concept) in art. 676 $a701/.03 676 $a700.411 700 $aMcCartney$b Nicola$01066425 712 02$aBloomsbury (Firm), 801 0$bERASA 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910511690203321 996 $aDeath of the artist$92549157 997 $aUNINA
