Tactical Response: Art in an Age of Terror (Agon Press, 2014).

Tactical Response: Art in an Age of Terror investigates works by Hans Haacke, Krzysztof Wodiczko, and Alfredo Jaar to elucidate the intricate relationship between representation and real life, particularly as regards art’s effectiveness in articulating conditions of atrocity. While these artists do not document war, terror, and catastrophe, they speak to the conditions of its existence and the impact of its experience, offering a vantage point from which viewers can critically address the causes and consequences of suffering.
