Description

A monumental and lavishly illustrated book that offers a global portrait of a complex cultural production. Over the past twenty years, various art forms have emerged that use aesthetics to affect social dynamics, often blurring the line between art and life. These works are produced by collectives or emerge from community contexts, emphasizing participation, dialogue, and action. They can be found in diverse settings such as theater, activism, urban planning, visual art, and healthcare. The book presents a landmark survey of over 100 projects selected by a curatorial advisory team, each documented with a selection of color images. Contributions from noted critics and theorists broaden the understanding of this phenomenon, offering insights into its global significance and scope.
