“If you think about how grand the concept/movement/idea of Art & Social Practice really is, it can be quite overwhelming. What started out as a grass-roots movement has also begun to infiltrate academia, creating even more ways in which people are thinking, researching and writing about the topic. With that in mind, I decided to create a reading list of 50 hand-selected titles that form a cohesive and well-rounded collection designed to reach a wide audience and aimed to define and understand the multifaceted field Broken City Lab’s engaged with.
During the selection process of this bibliography, I tracked down and read several published reviews and customer reviews from a variety of sources, and ensured that each title provided the collection with a different perspective or filled a necessary gap. For academic texts, I also tracked citations in order to determine their relevancy within the field. Therefore, whether you’re an artist, an academic, an educator, or just someone who is generally interested in learning what the heck Art & Social Practice is, you’ll be able to find a title or two to get your thinking started.”
