Event overview
As part of the Visual Cultures MA Guest Lecture Series, Dr. Gail Day will be speaking on contemporary art theory and Marx's 'Capital'
This paper intervenes in the radical debates associated with contemporary art theory, and forms part of a larger study that tracks the emergence of what remains a highly influential account of the politics of contemporary culture. The paper specifically focuses on how accounts of art, influenced by and sympathetic to the New Left, responded to and deployed the categories of Karl Marx's 'Capital', and, in particular, those of use value and exchange value from Volume One, Chapter One.
GAIL DAY teaches at University of Leeds, School of Fine Art, History of Art and Cultural Studies, where she is Programme Director for the MA History of Art. She is a co-organiser of the London-based seminar Marxism in Culture. Her book 'Dialectical Passions: Negation in Postwar Art Theory' has just been published by Columbia University Press.
