In this episode we have a conversation with Abigail Susik, about her 
book “Surrealist Sabotage and the War on Work.” We cover a range of 
topics including the centrality of work refusal to the history of 
Surrealism, automatist practices and aesthetic sabotage, the class 
composition of labor that influenced the beginning of Surrealism, why 
relationships with Communist Parties are ‘complicated,’ and why sewing 
machines are sexually dangerous.

Abigail Susik is Associate Professor of Art History at Willamette 
University and co-editor of Surrealism and film after 1945 (2021)

Opening / outro music: Gid Tanner - Work Don’t Bother Me (1930), from

Records, 2012
