Let's Entertain: Life's Guilty Pleasure

Philippe Vergne

4/5 ( ratings)

Let's Entertain: Life's Guilty Pleasures examines the 'spectacularization' of everyday experience through the twin lenses of contemporary art practice and cultural criticism, and challenges us not to simply renounce entertainment, but to understand how its strategies can be used to tell a different kind of story. The story that unfolds is sweet, amusing, and, like a fairy tale, often cruel.

Format: Paperback

Publisher: Walker Art Center
