Critical Art Ensemble Disturbances Four Corners Books 2012 ISBN 9780956192882 Acqn 21636 Pb 21x27cm 272pp 500ills 400col 22.50 Since its formation in 1987, Critical Art Ensemble has set out to explore the intersections between art, critical theory, technology and political activism. The award-winning group has exhibited and performed in a variety of venues internationally, from the street to the museum to the internet. Disturbances is the first book to assess the groups 25-year history, examining the environmental, political and bio-technological themes of their various initiatives. Each project is presented by the group itself, from Flesh Machine (19971998), in which they exposed the role of eugenics in the fertility market, to the multimedia Marching Plague (20052007), which revealed the farcical failures of governmental germ warfare programs. The book, which features an introduction by Brian Holmes, will be published in the UK and in North America this autumn.
