Description
This critical history of site-specific art since the late 1960s offers a theoretical framework for examining the relationship between location and identity in the era of late capitalism. Informed by urban theory, postmodernist criticism in art and architecture, and debates concerning identity politics and the public sphere, the book addresses the siting of art as more than an artistic problem.
Through a critical analysis of the work of various artists, including John Ahearn, Mark Dion, Andrea Fraser, Donald Judd, Renee Green, Suzanne Lacy, Inigo Manglano-Ovalle, Richard Serra, Mierle Laderman Ukeles, and Fred Wilson, the book challenges the prevailing ideals of art's autonomy and universality. It also examines the changing institutional and market forces that have influenced the development of site-specific art.
Published in 2004, One Place after Another provides a nuanced understanding of the complex and often contentious nature of site-specific art, and its ongoing relevance in contemporary art practice.
