Engaging Publics: Public Engagement

"The social and critical possibilities of creative practice have been the topic of rigorous discussion in a number of disciplines, foremost art, for several decades. Current conversations about art engaging with communities cross a range of debates that extend from the arena of the politics and aesthetics of art practice. Engaging Publics/Public Engagement presents a compilation of approaches and critical perspectives from artists, designers, creative practitioners and collectives in New Zealand, Australia and Europe and offers broad insights into the dynamic space of relations between art and publics."--Back cover.
