An original exploration of the 2003 Iraq war and geopolitics more broadly through the prism of art. * Offers a reappraisal of one of the most contentious and consequential events of the early twenty-first century * Advances an original perspective on Britain's role in the 2003 invasion and subsequent occupation of Iraq * Maps out new ways of thinking about geopolitical events through art * Examines the work of artists, curators and activists in light of Britain's role as a colonial power in Iraq and the importance of oil * Reflects on the significance, limits and dilemmas of art as a form of critical intervention * Questions the implications of art in colonialism and modernity
Rezensionen
'Geopolitics and the Event is an enthralling survey of the response to the Iraq war both by Iraqi and non-Iraqi visual artists that is brimming with insight on every page. I have no doubt this book will become an essential reference for anyone researching or thinking about the catastrophe of the Iraq War and the sanction years.'
'In this timely and thought-provoking book, Alan Ingram asks us to consider how Britain's war in Iraq has been encountered, appropriated and reworked through art works, by artists and through exhibition practices. Geopolitics and the Event offers us a systematic exploration of how artistic enactments challenge the dominant logics of the Iraq war, and prompts us to rethink this significant geopolitical event.'
