Biography
Adam Walker is an artist and writer. They are a Lecturer in Fine Art at Manchester Metropolitan University.
“Astute, thoughtful, and engagingly written, this book invites us to think about what care, and caring about care, might mean. Grounded in a deep understanding and appreciation of artistic practice, it is considered and self-reflexive, but also ambitious and novel. It is, in other words, a meditation on radical care that manages to be both careful and radical.”
--Helen Hester, University of West London, UK
“Neoliberal logic demands a constant investment in human capital, yet it is fundamentally uncaring when our investments inevitably fail. Against this algorithmically imposed technosphere, Walker pits an artistic practice grounded in radical care. Rejecting participation as panacea, the horizon of this important work is the dissolution of the individuated self.”
--Pil and Galia Kollectiv, Royal College of Art and University of the Arts London, UK
