Reviews 'An invaluable, critical work that provides a wealth of information.'
Dr Angela Dimitrakaki, University of Edinburgh
'The transnational approach proposed by the author is something to celebrate because it allows us to demonstrate, in the framework of the new models of collective production developed in Western Europe, the contemporaneity of this work and to emphasize the relations between collectives operating in France, Germany, Spain and Italy. In addition, the originality of the research on groups little known and treated by the English bibliography is to be welcomed. This analysis makes it possible to leave the hegemonic centralism on which studies on modern art have been based until recently, and to challenge the conception of Europe in monolithic terms. In the book, the connected and networked structure of artistic practices clearly evokes a decentralized and multicentric modernity.
Individuals against Individualism is undoubtedly an important and necessary reading to delve into the contributions of the cited artistic collectives and their contexts, as well as to arrive at a complex interpretation of the structures and artistic interrelations established in Western Europe during the 1960s.'
