Alexander Adams on dissident art, the tyranny of the Arts Council England and his new exhibition: Power and Intimacy.

In Episode 54 of the Sceptic, host Laurie Wastell speaks to Alexander Adams, artist and writer and the author of the pamphlet, Abolish the Arts Council and his new book, How to Start a Dissident Art Movement. They discuss the woke tyranny of the contemporary art establishment, why modern art is so off-putting, the meaning of Right-wing art and his new exhibition – Power and Intimacy, running until this Sunday in Central London – and what he and his colleagues are trying to achieve with it.
