Practice Space

Omschrijving

Practice Space brings together a series of forms and approaches from artistic spaces that operate outside of institutions. Featuring all new texts, this volume combines expansive essays and profiles of initiatives around the globe with original research and interviews that unfold discursive and practical methods of working and thinking in local or small scale environments. An array of styles and voices are organised around three terms—Local Time, Situated Infrastructure, Co-translations—that serve as examples of components to thinking anti- or para institutionally. Place and context are positioned here not only in terms of social, economic, political, and historical conditions, but as carriers of different conceptions of how a collective self relates to the world. In doing so, Practice Space hopes to provide possibilities for helping to shape an art world we want to see, iin support of all that is small, strange, practical, and nurturing.
