Book Overview
In an era when real-estate developers preach the power of art to change society, and when innovative capitalist design has come to be called art, one has to appreciate-and have a healthy suspicion of-just how far art has come. In Culture As Weapon, Nato Thompson, one of the country's preeminent art activists, guides us through today's complex and all-consuming culture wars. In doing so he offers an eye-opening account of the way advertising, media, and politics use the tools of art to mystify and move us, and a crucial contribution to our study of the forces that have turned culture into big business-and therefore everyone's business.
