Across essays, images and documentation, the catalogue examines collective authorship, political subjectivity, autonomous media and the uneasy traffic between radical art and organised resistance. Its governing theme is whether artistic form might itself become a way of producing common life—temporary, unstable and resistant to command. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1228\" data-end=\"1567\"\u003eThis is a strong piece of local art history as well as a compact document of post-autonomist political thought. It will suit readers interested in artists’ publishing, pirate radio, Italian radicalism, collective practice and the point where the avant-garde stops being a stylistic category and becomes an argument about who gets to speak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1594\" data-end=\"1745\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMargaret Lawrence Gallery, Victorian College of the Arts, 2012.
