The volume assembles works by international contemporary artists who make use of the motif of the circus in order to examine current social circumstances and to question cultural and political structures. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The circus originated in London towards the end of the 18th century and has long been a subject of fascination. Today this place of sensuous experiences seems like a relic from the past. The circus is a cosmos which with its entertaining and humorous as well as dark sides provides the basis for an examination of art, cultural history, animal ethics, feminism and racial criticism and also for the exposure of structures of cultural dominance, marginalisation and political and historical filters. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ARTISTS: Kathryn Andrews   Miriam Bäckström   Istvan Balogh   Beni Bischof   Mona Boschàr   Barbara Breitenfellner   Michael Dannenmann   Zilla Leutenegger   Dieter Meier   Yves Netzhammer   Tal R   Augustin Rebetez   Boris Rebetez   Ugo Rondinone   Niklaus Rüegg   Francisco Sierra   Norbert Tadeusz   William Wegman et. al.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41271229382753,"sku":"9783777441795","price":30.62,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_27207839.jpg?v=1721573127","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9783777441795-not-my-circus-not-my-monkeys","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
