Abstract

Let's Entertain: Life's Guilty Pleasures examines th[e] 'spectacularization' of everyday experience through the twin lenses of contemporary art practice and cultural criticism.... [and] challenge[s] us not to simply renounce entertainment per se, but to understand how its strategies can be used to tell a different kind of story. The story that unfolds is sweet, amusing, and, like a fairy tale, often cruel.
