Reviews

'Art in Consumer Culture gets to the heart of the anxious dialogue between contemporary art and design. McQuilten's rigorous argumentation addresses the role of bodily desire, irrationality, and the disruption of function in practices of mis-design. Her nuanced analysis recovers a place for the criticality of art in the era of late capitalism.' Amanda Boetzkes, The Ethics of Earth Art
