Summary:

"Based on Walter Benjamin's seminal essay "The Author as Producer," an array of theorists have developed approaches towards an aesthetics of production. The texts of this issue investigate how Benjamin's arguments may serve as a ground for reflecting and theorizing current art practices. What are the consequences of political art's function of "supplying the capitalist production apparatus, not changing it"? How can artistic methods subvert cooptation following Brecht and Tretyakov? Where are there new models of artists/intellectuals as producers and "specialists" rather than experts for the universal?"-- provided by distributor.
