Art and Revolution: the legacy of May 1968

Speaker: 
Ron Heisler
Room: 
Library
Time: 
12pm

Why left artists should oppose the 'Young Brits': although Emin and Hirst claim to be the new avant-garde their work reflects their incorporation into the ideology of the ruling elite and its art commodity market. Heisler will contrast this with the real art which emerged from the streets of Paris in 1968 - including the Cobra group.
