The art of theory
Art and commerce are closely intertwined, so how can artists be truly free and radical? What is the relationship of the artist to the nation-state? How does decolonisation influence cultural practices? What are the modes of artistic dissent? These are some of the animating concerns in Speech Acts, a new anthology by the art critic, theorist and curator Geeta Kapur. The collection, featuring essays, talks and interviews, addresses and interrogates themes that Kapur has tackled in her storied career.
