After Euphoria is a collection of Jeff Derksen’s writings on art, architecture, and globalism. The selected essays in this book focus on artistic practices and modes of cultural critique that aim their questions, research, and propositions at neoliberalism’s alliance of the economy, affect, and the present. After Euphoria includes essays on the work of Brian Jungen, Sam Durant, Andrea Geyer, Jin-me Yoon, Ken Lum, Ron Terada, Sabine Bitter/Helmut Weber, and Alfredo Jaar.
