It encompasses uncatalogued, uncommodified art not often recognised as such, from graffiti to performance, self-adornment, and beyond.

In making their case, the two provide a history of the institutionalisation of “taste” in Western thought, point to missed opportunities for its democratisation in the past, and demonstrate how the recognition and acceptance of “wild art” in the present will radically transform our understanding of contemporary visual art in the future.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProvocative and optimistic, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eAesthetics of the Margins \/ The Margins of Aesthetics\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003erejects the concept of “kitsch” and the high\/low art binary, ultimately challenging the art world to become a larger and more inclusive place.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\"\u003ePLEASE NOTE: This book is a NON-MINT item.
