Abstract
ABSTRACT This essay examines an innovative approach to the Marxist concept of reification by the contemporary art collective Claire Fontaine, who I argue joins historical materialist and radical democratic strands of critique in their artistic and textual practice. I argue that their work responds to a conceptual impasse in contemporary theory between a radical democratic sensory micropolitics on the one hand, and a critique of political economy on the other. Their work synthesises these approaches, taking into account dynamics of commodification, financialisation, and the neoliberal reconfiguration of the relationship between politics and economics.
