Description: The Arts of Logistics by Michael Shane Boyle We live in a world where nothing is untouched by supply chains—art included. In this major contribution to the study of contemporary culture and supply chains, Michael Shane Boyle has assembled a global inventory of aesthetics since the 1950s that reveals logistics to be a pervasive means of artistic production. The Arts of Logistics provides a new map of supply chain capitalism, scrutinizing how artists retool technologies designed for circulating commodities. What emerges is a magisterial account of the logistics revolution that foregrounds the role played by art in the long downturn of global capitalism. With chapters on art produced from technologies including ships, barrels, containers, and drones, Boyle narrates the long history of arts connection to logistics, beginning in the transatlantic slave trade and continuing today in Silicon Valleys dreams of automation. The global reach of the artists considered reflects the geographies of supply chain capitalism itself. In taking stock of how performance, sculpture, and popular culture are entangled in trade and racialized labor regimes, Boyle profiles influential work by artists such as Christo and Allan Kaprow alongside that of contemporary figures including Cai Guo-Qiang and Selina Thompson. This incisive study demonstrates that art and logistics are linked by the infrastructures and violence that keep supply chains moving.

Review "This is the book about logistics and art that we have been waiting for. Both broad and deep enough to do justice to its topic, it is engagingly written and a pleasure to read."—Susan Zieger, University of California Riverside"This book is by far one of the most brilliant books in a crop of very brilliant books on logistics. It is original, beautifully written, gorgeously illustrated, and it fizzes and pops with imagination, righteous outrage, hefty analysis, and humor."—Laleh Khalili, University of Exeter"A brilliant examination of the logistical mode of artistic production. This is aesthetic theory down at the docks and across the sea—in solidarity, antagonistic, yet alive to the repurposing of logistical infrastructures within an artistic imagination."—Ned Rossiter, Western Sydney University Details ISBN1503640434 Author Michael Shane Boyle Pages 296 Publisher Stanford University Press Series Post*45 Year 2024 ISBN-13 9781503640436 Format Paperback Publication Date 2024-09-10 Imprint Stanford University Press Subtitle Artistic Production in Supply Chain Capitalism Place of Publication Palo Alto Country of Publication United States Audience Professional & Vocational US Release Date 2024-09-10 ISBN-10 1503640434 UK Release Date 2024-09-10 Illustrations 20 halftones DEWEY 700.4553 Alternative 9781503640047 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
