"Autonomy is a quality. Autonomy is an approach. Autonomy is a structure. Autonomy is a tool. Autonomy is a method. Autonomy is innate. Autonomy is taken. Autonomy is a 'line of flight'. Autonomy is a destination. Autonomy is a group. Autonomy is an individual. Autonomy is subtle. Autonomy is radical. Autonomy is knowledge. Autonomy is action...Autonomy is a word. A word with as many synonyms as it has antonyms. And it is this vast tagging cloud of possibilities which the Autonomy Project aims to map, investigate, work out and push through." With contributions by: Jeroen Boomgaard, Clare Butcher, John Byrne, Juan Cruz, Thomas Lange, Freek Lomme, Sven Lutticken, Becky Shaw, Steven Ten Thije. Published by Autonomy Project and Onomatopee, 2010.

"In 1971 drafted with Bob Projansky, a New York lawyer, after extensive discussions and correspondence with over 500 artists, dealers, collectors, museum people, critics and others involved in the day-to-day workings of the international art world. Designed to remedy some generally acknowledged inequities in the art world, particularly artists' lack of control over the use of their work and participation in its economics after they no longer own it. The Agreement form has been written with special awareness of the current ordinary practices and economic realities of the art world particularly its private, cash and informal nature, with careful regard for the interests and motives of all concerned." Published by Primary Information. www.primaryinformation.org/index.php?/projects/siegelaubartists-rights/.

"Ecstatic Resistance is a project, practice, partial philosophy and set of strategies. It develops the positionality of the impossible alongside a call to re-articulate the imaginary. Ecstatic Resistance is about the limits of representation and legibility—the limits of the intelligible, and strategies that undermine hegemonic oppositions. It wants to talk about pleasure in the domain of resistance—sexualizing modern structures in order to centralize instability and plasticity in life, living, and the self. It is about waiting, and the temporality of change. Ecstatic Resistance wants to think about all that is unthinkable and unspeakable in the Eurocentric, phallocentric world order." Published by Grand Arts, 2009. www.emilyroysdon.com.

"We are living in remarkable times. Our globalised neo-liberal economy has nearly bankrupted itself and we are all now footing the bill. Europe is refragmenting. America's power is waning. Asia's power is waxing and the 'War on Terror' has turned into a pandemic of ideological attrition. It seems highly unlikely that anybody looking back at this moment from some time in the future will even begin to remember the art. That is, of course, unless we do something about it." With contributions by: John Byrne, Charles Esche, Emilio Moreno, Paul Sullivan, Sarah Pierce, Brian Holmes, Steven Ten Thije, Marijke Goeting, Jennifer Smailes, Joanne McClellan, Joana Ozorio de Almeida Meroz, Clare Butcher, Kerstin Niemann, Sean Harvey, Hannah Pierce. Published by Autonomy Project and Onomatopee, 2011.

"An attempt to map and analyze one aspect of recent changes in the production and distribution of contemporary art, namely the state of the commercial art market; to put things on the table which have been sensed and guessed at for a while but for “fear of touching” have not been compiled and openly debated. As commerce and recent art are becoming an increasingly intimate and powerful pair, and as the criteria of economic efficiency invade art production as well as curating, it is necessary to scrutinize the mechanisms at play and what they generate. Because there is no denying that the entire world of art is influenced by these mechanisms, regardless of your proximity to or distance from the drama." From Contemporary Art and its Commercial Markets, a report published by Tensta konsthall and Sternberg Press.

"It is 2015. Art is almost completely instrumentalised—regardless of whether its financing is private or public. Art services either national or European interests, where it is especially useful in the construction or reinforcement of specific identities. At the same time, art is a desirable commercial product. It is ideal for collecting and it contributes to regional development whilst providing society with new creative employment opportunities. Visiting art museums and centres is a popular, easily digested leisure activity. In 2015 art is also used to stave off undesirable fascistic and nationalistic tendencies in society." Published by IASPIS and EIPCP, 2005.

"Institutional critique’ is best known through the critical practice that developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s by artists who presented radical challenges to the museum and gallery system. Since then it has been pushed in new directions by new generations of artists registering and responding to the global transformations of contemporary life. Interrogating the shifting relations between ‘institutions’ and ‘critique’ these essays reflect on the mutual enrichments between critical art practices and social movements and elaborate the conditions for politicized critical practice in the twenty-first century." Published by MayFlyBooks, 2009.

"If we recognize that copyright is unfeasible, and unjustifiable, what should our response be? Copyright provides an investment protection to blockbusters, best sellers and stars. It distorts cultural markets and pushes a wide variety of cultural expressions out of sight. At the same time, cultural conglomerates controlling copyright dominate cultural markets by owning the means of production, distribution, marketing and reception of cultural expressions. From the perspective of democracy and fair competition this type of market control is not to be tolerated. Thus, let us imagine what abolishing copyright would accomplish, while we do not hesitate cutting cultural conglomerates into many pieces. The result is a level playing field in which many, and many more artists can make a decent living. And even more important effect would be the restoration of our public domain of creativity and knowledge." Theory on Demand #4, published by Institute of Network Cultures, Amsterdam, 2009.

"Rather than simply lament the decline of public institutions, the ongoing privatization of knowledge, and the resulting precariousness of access to education, we should challenge ourselves to learn how to respond to the current situation without drowning in it. The discovery of possible points of resistance to these oncoming waves of privatization, appropriation, and commodification has become urgent. The system of public education is threatened by a crisis with multiple sources, a crisis that exceeds the limits of our imagination and is essentially beyond measure since what is put into question is the very idea of measurement and commensurability as such. It is a crisis of property, which has become increasingly "imaginary" in the sense that one can no longer be sure of whether or not it is real." From E-flux Journal #14, March 2010. www.e-flux.com/journals/?user=8398.

"Abstraction is an important visual strategy first used by the classical avant garde but it is also an aesthetic category. At the same time, abstraction can be described as the quintessential twentieth-century intellectual technique." Selected texts from a reader dealing with abstraction published in conjunction with the exhibition Abstract Possible: The Tamayo Take. Contributors: Maria Lind, Meyer Schapiro, Ina Blom, Sven Lütticken, Liam Gillick, Matias Faldbakken, Emily Roysdon, Irit Rogoff, Nina Möntmann, Anthony Davies, Stephan Dillemuth & Jakob Jakobsen, Gerald Raunig. Published by Museo Tamayo, 2011.

"A tool for understanding the situation we are living through, the way our practices and our subjectivities are determined by capitalism. It explores contemporary alienation in order to discover whether the practices of improvisation and noise contain or can produce emancipatory moments and how these practices point towards social relations which can extend these moments." Contributors: Ray Brassier, Emma Hedditch, Matthew Hyland, Anthony Iles, Sara Kaaman, Mattin, Nina Power, Edwin Prévost, Bruce Russell, Matthieu Saladin, Howard Slater, Csaba Toth, Ben Watson. Published by Arteleku Audiolab (Kritika saila), Donostia-S.Sebastiá, Spain.

"Art Work is a newspaper that consists of writings and images from artists, activists, writers, critics, and others on the topic of working within depressed economies and how that impacts artistic process, compensation and artistic property. We can see how the collapse of the economy is affecting everyone. Something must be done. Let’s talk. No, it can’t wait. Things are bad. We have to work things out. We can only do it together. What do we know? What have others tried? What is possible? How do we talk about it? What are the wildest possibilities? What are the pragmatic steps? What can you do? What can we do?" Published by Half Letter Press, November 2009. FREE. Take a copy.

"What values are embedded in Wikipedia’s software? On what basis are Wikipedia’s claims to neutrality made? How can Wikipedia give voice to those outside the Western tradition of Enlightenment, or even its own administrative hierarchies? Critical Point of View collects original insights on the next generation of wiki-related research, from radical artistic interventions and the significant role of bots to hidden trajectories of encyclopedic knowledge and the politics of agency and exclusion." Published by Institute of Network Cultures, 2011.
