Twin brothers David and Stuart Wise, as art students in mid1960s Newcastle, immersed themselves the radical ideas of Icteric (the often confusedly antiart magazine). The Wises participated in the saving and restoration of Kurt Schwitters Lakeland Merz Barn, and organised a controversial commemoration of the Russian Futurist, Kazimir Malevich. The documents in this book, written over a 50year period, describe these and subsequent efforts by the Wises to subvert the recuperation of art into the capitalist culture industry.In reflection on their engagements with likeminded radicals the English and French Situationists, New Yorks Black Mask collective, the Londonbased King Mob, and more recent formations the authors consider how and why the Revolution due to unforeseen circumstances did not take place. They also analyze the recuperation of radical aesthetic ideas in the works of latterday chancers like Damian Hurst and Banksy.
