Anthology of essays, images and dialogues exploring contemporary arts engagements with risk (physical social political) and aesthetics. The title comes from the similar named conference, the third annual collaboration between the Getty Research Institute and the Southern California Consortium of Art Schools SoCCAS. Some content there was so intense that it came with a warning label: “Contains graphic depictions of violence, nudity and bodily functions”.
