Reviews

Giovanni Aloi's I'm Not an Artist is an ambitious and overdue contribution to the much-needed (and much-avoided) project of reconsidering what art is, was, and could be. Bucking an artistic discourse that long ago mastered the dark art of co-opting such challenges into its own image, Aloi strips away the truisms which shield the art world's collective false consciousness from so many dangerous yet necessary questions. * Mitch Speed, Art Critic and Writer, Berlin, Germany * Urgent and vital reading for anybody interested in questioning what an artist is. Giovanni Aloi carefully dismantles the conception of the artist, equipping the reader with the tools to define their creativity on their own terms. * Harold Offeh, Reader in Performance and Social Arts Practice, Tutor in Contemporary Art Practice, Royal College of Art, UK *
