X Abstract

_"Today you don't have to be filthy rich to be designer and designed in one—whether the product in question is your home or business, your sagging face (designer surgery) or lagging personality (designer drugs), your historical memory (designer museum) or DNA future (designer children). One thing seems clear: design abets a near-perfect circuit of production and consumption, without much running-room for anything else."_ In these diatribes on the marketing of culture and the branding of identity, the development of spectacle-architecture and the rise of global cities, Hal Foster surveys our new political economy of design. Written in a lively style, _Design and Crime_ explores the historical relations of modern art and modern museum, the conceptual vicissitudes of art history and visual studies, the recent travails of art criticism, and the double aftermath of modernism and postmodernism in an attempt to illuminate the conditions for critical culture in the present.
