A fine reading of contemporary art's engagements with social acceleration and the regulation of time. -- Julian Stallabrass, author of Killing for Show
Offers a lucid and capacious analysis of how contemporary art has, over the last three decades or so, addressed our society's troubled experience with the speed and pace of life under capitalism -- J.J. Charlesworth * ArtReview *
