Book launch: Model Collapse

Is democracy over? Did we ever really have it? Today, democracy finds itself in crisis. As this crisis has intensified, art has emerged as an important means of experimenting with new democratic processes and possibilities.

In Model Collapse, art historians and theorists investigate the relationship between art and democracy since the 1990s. Exploring a wide range of artistic responses, from interactive public sculptures to autonomous curatorial projects, critical engagement with electoral politics and creative street protest, they offer fresh insights into the limits of representation, the appeal of collaboration and the role of the nation-state in post-national frameworks. 

Featuring talks by: Lindsay Caplan, Kerry Greaves, Mathias Danbolt, Mikkel Bolt Rasmussen, Sabine Dahl Nielsen, Jonah Westerman, Sudeep Dasgupta, and Olga Kopenkin.
