More about the book

The book explores a pivotal 2008 exhibition in Scarborough that challenged the prevailing neo-conceptual art trends in Britain. Featuring four artists and a critic, the exhibition aimed to celebrate radical contemporary realist painting while simultaneously critiquing the mainstream art world. Critic Michael Paraskos provides an insightful essay, highlighting how the artists viewed realism as a temporary resistance against conceptualism, with aspirations that extended beyond realism itself. The narrative delves into anarchist art theory and the evolving agendas of the participating artists.
