Middlesex University
Short Treatise on Art
This text is an attempt to address a set of fundamental terms that articulate art's relation to capitalism, both its identity and contradiction. The text derives from a number of papers or talks, but its origins lie in a contribution to the 'Aesthetics and Contemporary Art' conference held at Middlesex University in March 2008 - a collaboration between the Centre for Research in Modern European Philosophy, at Middlesex University, and Research Centre for 'Aesthetic Experience and the Dissolution of Artistic Limits', at Free University, Berlin. The book, Aesthetics and Contemporary Art (Sternberg Press, 2011), is effectively a publication of the proceedings from this conference.
