artists as producers NEW ISSUE republicart web-journal

[eipcp]

The new issue of the multilingual *republicart Web-Journal *is now online:

*artists as producers*

Based upon Walter Benjamin's seminal essay "The Author as Producer", a 
whole range of theorists have developed approaches towards an aesthetics 
of production. The texts of this issue investigate how Benjamin's 
arguments may serve as a ground for reflecting and theorizing current 
art practices.

What about political art's function of "supplying the capitalist 
production apparatus, not changing it"? What about artistic methods of 
subverting cooptation after Brecht and Tretjakov? What about new models 
of artists/intellectuals as producers and "specialists" rather than 
experts for the universal?
