The New Obsessives

The New Obsessives is a group of artists focused on reassembling a non-ambiguous cultural experience through the proliferation of art and art propaganda. The collective consists primarily of former members of the Defastenist art movement that was based in Dublin, Ireland. The group's focus is an evolution of the Defastenist Manifesto, and is a direct response to the belief that discourse among artists has become "watery and... inefficient".[1]
