Urging a grassroots style based on activist engagement, entrepreneurship, design, and more, this book offers opposing perspectives on independent, progressive cultural production stemming from small initiatives. Similar to a pamphlet or a bundle of essays, it considers the formal frameworks and cultures of an independent and truthful undercurrent to move upwards. The book offers no evidence but shares experiences and perspectives with analytical support, which equally brings a rhetorical styl...

Over the past 30 years, the rise of art as research has brought theory to the center of art education. Out of Theory: Relational Ecologies of Theory and Practice in the Arts explores how theory can be approached in the arts and its evolving connections with other disciplines.

Interrupting the City explores the ways in which artistic practices and interventions constitute the public sphere. To interrupt the city (be it digitally or materially) means to arrest the flow or circulation that the city consists of. The tactics by which this interruption is achieved may vary, ranging from a media offensive to riots in the streets, but each and every time these activities affect the public sphere, also make the public sphere. Thus, the public domain is constituted by a com...

This book offers an alternate lens to rethink how we process art—and life—inside residency time. Looking beyond the conventional and managerial, Angela Serino sets out in search of what is put in motion by the experience of being “in residence” that is not instantly visible or quantifiable: through the different and overlapping concepts of space time, care time, and soil time. Through speculative storytelling and fostered by analytical hypotheses and first-hand experiences, this book ...
