On the aesthetic and intellectual affinities between recent art and conspiracy.Written in the wake of the farright populist turn in Europe, the US, and beyond, What We Do Is Secret addresses aesthetic and intellectual affinities between recent art and conspiracy, proposing a theory of conspiracy that is not primarily concerned with conspiracy theory. This inquiry takes shape across chapters on the politics of postinternet art aesthetics; the sublime and possessive individualism in recent critical art; Cady Nolands security fences, and silkscreens of the Symbionese Liberation Army; and mutuality, secrecy, and improvisation in the work of ImaAbasi Okon. Larne Abse Gogarty discusses the relationship between culture and contemporary politics, following on from David Lloyds proposition that through its compensatory qualities, the aesthetic sphere naturalizes forms of life lived under the rule of property. What kind of art can work against this? Can art exist as a conspiracy capable of corroding that rule?
