&8220Thibook is not, ultimately, about art. It is about society, and art is its protagonist. The painting, the sculpture, and the installation are not ends in themselves but reflections of the world we inhabit.&8221TheNew Formalist Vanguard presents a rigorous study of contemporary art, dissecting the shifting boundaries of artistic expression to reveal how critics and the broader cultural establishment have come to accept the new standard of art.It puts forth a sturdy argument regarding art's potential to catalyze political and societal reform, exposing the inherent tension between art&8217semancipatory possibilities and the pervasive forces of commodification caused by technology and capitalism. In this era that is dominated by algorithms and profit-driven motives that shape every aspect of creative production, Nicketta questions, can art retain its autonomy, or is it doomed to be subsumed by the very systems it once sought to challengeThis work is an urgent and an intellectually charged intervention into the discourse on art&8217splace in contemporary society.
