Subversive Practices explores European and South American experimental and conceptual art practices established between the 1960s and 1980s under the influence of military dictatorships. It features the work of Juan Downey, Cornelia Schleime, Krzysztof Wodiczko and nearly 100 other artists.

How might a resistive art be imagined, despite it being enmeshed in the economic structures that need to be countered? What other knowledge, and what other communities, can art foster? What tools and weapons can it supply? This publication is focused on three projects -- independent and interwoven in equal measure -- which explore and newly survey, each in their own way, the relations between art, politics, and knowledge generation. The three exhibitions include: 'Unrest of Form: Imagining the Political Subject, ' part of the Wiener Festwochen in Vienna and curated by Karl Baratta, Stefanie Carp, Matthias Pees, Hedwig Saxenhuber, and Georg Schöllhammer; 'Monday Begins on Saturday, ' part of the Bergen Assembly and curated by Ekaterina Degot and David Riff; and 'Giving Form to the Impatience of Liberty, ' at the Württembergischer Kunstverein Stuttgart and curated by Hans D. Christ and Iris Dressler.

In this volume, organizers and curators of the censored 2015 exhibition The Beast and the Sovereign reflect on the controversial show, organized by the Museum of Contemporary Art of Barcelona and the Württembergischer Kunstverein Stuttgart.
