Known for his radical public performances, such as setting fire to government buildings, stitching his lips shut, or nailing his own body to the ground, Pavlensky has been called a provocateur. In this book, he offers his own framework: \u003cem\u003esubject–object art\u003c\/em\u003e, a practice that weaponizes state mechanisms against themselves, forcing institutions to react and, thus, become part of the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVenturing past the confines of political art, he examines the historical intersections of art and power, situating his work within a lineage of radical avant-garde movements. Whether seen as a guide or an act of defiance in itself, \u003cem\u003eSubject–Object Art Theory\u003c\/em\u003e urges the reader to rethink artistic freedom; not as an abstract ideal, but as a confrontation with authority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46871504683244,"sku":"9781803095813","price":47.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/f34a2a3d0aa5edc4a84cea1291b13407.jpg?v=1759983875"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/pyotr-pavlensky.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
