Product description

Gregory sholette is a multifaceted writer, known as an artist, academic, activist, and organizer.

he teaches art and art theory at multiple universities.

pad/d, co-founder of the collectives political art documentation/distribution (1980-1988) and repohistory (referred to as “re-acquisition from history” and can be localized) (1989-2000). As a social/political actor, the artist is the main subject of sholette's study and action. Political economy is stupid: global financial crisis in art and theory (2013) can be considered a continuation of the book you have in your hands. His works, including "collectivism and modernism: the art of social imagination after 1945," which he wrote in 2007, are also noteworthy. Sholette is alluding to the book you're holding, which is titled "the dark substance."

He considers the fact that a vast 96% of the universe is comprised of "missing" or "unknown" dark matter as the foundation for his communication about the state of the art world: artistic activity is like a constellation of stars – unknown, unseen, yet ubiquitous.

stars are like the visible part of the aysberg. The unseen forces behind this collection are critics, art historians, collectors, dealers, museum and gallery directors, and art administrators. The purpose of the book, dark matter, is to shed light on this unknown world, to "upend" and re-establish the relationship between form and ground in the author's own words. Sholette traces the evolution from the pre-capitalist era to today's neoliberal capitalism, providing a wealth of concrete and up-to-date information. On one hand, it demonstrates the disruptive and destructive effects of neoliberal capital on the art world, while on the other, it showcases new practices and possibilities aimed at stripping art products of their "meta"-nature.

For example, the information that the website called saatchi gallery has provided services to 120,000 artists and art students without taking any commission from the sales, and that $130 million in sales were made in a short time with this method is encouraging to the reader by showing that the seeds of tomorrow are growing within today.
