| Summary |
In original essays, well-known critics and artists -- among them Lucy Lippard, Arlene Raven, Suzi Gablik, and Guillermo Gomez-Pena -- explore what happens when artists directly engage and address "real-world" audiences in various public sites and use public art as an instrument of public change. Included is a valuable illustrated compendium of ninety pioneering artists who, for nearly twenty years, have been perfecting an artistic aesthetic based not on similarities of medium but on shared methods, purpose, and intent. |
