Description

Published in conjunction with the exhibition Descent to Revolution (Sept 10–Nov 24, 2009) curated by James Voorhies, organized by Bureau for Open Culture at Columbus College of Art & Design. Featuring works and writing by Claire Fontaine, Learning Site, Red76, Reiningungsgesellschaft and Tercerunquinto.

Drawing on a range of ideas about urbanism, community, play, collectivity, education and revolution by figures like Jean Baudrillard, Guy Debord, Henri Lefebvre, Thomas Jefferson, Jean-François Lyotard and others, Descent to Revolution investigates how incremental shifts in cultural behavior are generated by continual production of knowledge, action and conversation. Revolution then is a slow, ever-evolving process responsive to a changing contemporary society. Within this investigation is a look at the role of the institution of art in realizing projects by practitioners whose production relies on contexts outside of the gallery.
