Practice of Place

The publication examines the role of social and participatory art practices in relation to site and society. Looking at tactical modes of habitation – collaboration, commitment, imagination, play, forgiveness, reflexivity and trust – practice is brought into question and the gallery reconsidered as a home for art. This collection of essays, interviews, conversations and musings is a generous anti-manual of place-based practice. Contributions from Can Altay, Dennis Atkinson, Ricardo Basbaum, Janna Graham, Lawrence Abu Hamden, Annette Krauss, Laura Marziale, Christian Nyampeta, Emily Pethick, Filipa Ramos, Louise Shelley and Ewa Wisieska.
