Negri and Agamben

contemporary western radical leftists

have brought the discussion of art production into the context of biopolitics and regard art as a way of saving politics. Like western Marxist literary critics

they regard art as production and develop it into an important paradigm of biopolitical production. Negri and Agamben then rediscover the ontological value of art as not only the presentation of the singular and the production of the absolute singular but also as a revelation of the realm of "inoperosità" towards a new potential use

which revealing capitalism's rejection of artistic authenticity while celebrating art's inversion of capitalist logic. It is in this sense that they think art is both politics and biopolitics. They have

however

had a number of disagreements due to their different theoretical research approaches.The narrative of Negri and Agamben adds a biopolitical perspective to Marx's development of art production

and their study is a contemporary elaboration and supplement to art production.
