This book analyzes social practice art that has a political agenda. Contributing scholars define this practice, provide historical context, and consider contemporary social practice art that addresses the current volatile political context.
This volume is an anthology of current groundbreaking research on social practice art. Contributing scholars provide a variety of assessments of recent projects as well as earlier precedents, define approaches to art production, and provide crucial political context. The topics and art projects covered, many of which the authors have experienced firsthand, represent the work of innovative artists whose creative practice is utilized to engage audience members as active participants in effecting social and political change. Chapters are divided into four parts that cover history, specific examples, global perspectives, and critical analysis.

Eric J. Schruers is Assistant Professor of Art History at Fairmont State University, United States. Kristina Olson is Associate Director and Associate Professor of Art History at West Virginia University, United States.
