How do we make sense of politically committed art in a contemporary context where revolution has supposedly died or is deemed impossible? What can the afterlives of performance art tell us about the historical past, including the promises and contradictions of revolutionary time? This book assesses Stuart Brisleys seminal influence on British art through his lifelong engagement with the histories and imaginaries of revolution. It links together revolutionary history with the authors critical dialogue with Brisley, developed over many years, to explore how revolutionary art, politics and history relate today.
