In the Belly of the Beast revisits the political struggles of artists in 1970s New York, challenging conventional narratives of “activist art.” Focusing on the collective Art & Language and allied left-wing organizations, the book examines the tensions between working within the art world and building broader political movements. Through institutional critique, anti-racist and anti-sexist campaigns, and socialist organizing, these artists redefined the relationship between art and politics. This expanded edition includes previously unpublished manuscripts, letters, pamphlets, and transcripts, alongside an extensive interview with Michael Corris, offering new insight into the debates and contradictions that shaped the period.
