At the heart of "How to Do Things with Art" lies the question of arts relevance to society. How does art become politically or socially significant? This book attempts to answer this question on a theoretical level, and to indicate, through the analysis of works by James Coleman, Daniel Buren, Jeff Koons, and Tino Seghal, how artists can create and shape social relevance; in other words, to provide what could be called a pragmatic understanding of art's societal impact. The title of the book itself is a play on John Langshaw Austin's seminal lecture series "How to Do Things with Words," in which he discussed the performative, or reality-producing, capacity of language.
