- epitomised in studio-based painting photography & object making
- Arvatov polemicises for the devolution of artistic skills directly into the relations of production & the factory Whilst acknowledging the problems of a pure factory-based Productivism Arvatov remains overwhelmingly committed to a new role & function for art outside the conventional studio & traditional gallery Addressing issues such as artistic labour & productive labour the artist as technician art & multidisciplinarity & a life for art beyond 'art'
- finding new relevance amidst the extensive social turn of contemporary participatory art
- Art & Production offers a timely & compelling manifesto
