BAK, basis voor actuele kunst, Utrecht is proud to invite you to the book launch Deserting from the Culture Wars , the second reader in our BASICS series, published by BAK and MIT Press, Cambridge, MA and edited by Maria Hlavajova and Sven Lütticken. The book launch is part of the <a href="https://www.eventbrite.nl/e/tickets-reopening-tony-cokes-to-live-as-equals-122408702725" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Reopening of Tony Cokes: To Live as Equals at BAK (16-17 October 2020)</a>.Deserting from the Culture Wars reflects upon and intervenes in our current moment of ever-more polarizing ideological combat, often seen as the return of the “culture wars.” How are these culture wars defined and waged? Engaging in a theater of war that has been delineated by the enemy is a shortcut to defeat. Getting out of the reactive mode that produces little but a series of Pavlovian responses, this book proposes a tactical desertion from the culture wars as they are being waged today—a refusal to play the other side’s war games, an unwillingness to be distracted.<a href="https://www.bakonline.org/basics/deserting-from-the-culture-wars/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Read more on the book here</a>.The book launch includes a program with contributions by Maria Hlavajova, Sven Lütticken, Jonas Staal, and Clara Balaguer.Live streaming As well as being an on-site event at BAK, the program also will be streamed live.
