A User's Guide to (Demanding) the Impossible

A little pink book, easy to carry everywhere, for inspiration for new and creative actions of resistance.

Art is useless, so they tell us; as soon as it truly affects the world it loses its status as art. (You never know, it might slide down the slippery slope, becoming instrumental, propaganda, or even worse, craft!) The strange thing is that those who tell us are often the same people who put art to the crudest instrumental use -- the art market. Maybe what they mean is that -- art is useless when its not ultimately used to make a profit. Perhaps it is the same logic as that which argues that education has no use outside slotting us into the mutilated world of work and consumption. This guide is for those of us who suspect that art has other uses and who are prepared to seek them.
