In Poète Maudit of the Redundant Beach, Harry Gray imagines an art practice that integrates fiction and reality within the institutional space of the art gallery. Gray theorizes a new post-situationist aesthetics, one in which the goal is not to find "the beach beneath the streets," but “the beach beneath the beach beneath the streets, where all new revolutions are redundant and emancipation is a fait accompli.”
 
Gray curates the influential experimental gallery Redundant Beach Gallery of Fine Art in Portland, OR. This book is a must-have for anyone interested in the perilous future of contemporary art!
