{"product_id":"off-the-grid","title":"Off the Grid","description":"This book examines public art practices in three eras of social and political upheaval: the 1920s-1930s, 1960s-1970s, and today. Heydays of artistic innovation and provocation, these periods see the rise of grassroots and avant-garde practices that intervene in the crises of their day by reclaiming public space for community building and social transformation. Artists of various cultural, social, and political movements in these times establish the street and other public spaces as laboratories for redefining the nation, culture, and community-in short, for endowing the world with new possibilities. Such revolutionary aesthetics can be found in the public art practices of Jamaican and U.S.-American Garveyism, Mexican muralism, North and South American 1960s theatre and happenings, and the contemporary Zapatista, Occupy Wall Street, and Black Lives Matter movements.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003ePublic Space, Art Practice, and the Social ................................... 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter I\u003cbr\u003eParading and Performing in the Streets:\u003cbr\u003eCultural and Artistic Practices in Garveyism\u003cbr\u003eand the Harlem Renaissance ........................................................ 29\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter II\u003cbr\u003eMexican Avant-Gardes and InterAmerican Flows:\u003cbr\u003eRedefining the Relation between Art Practice\u003cbr\u003eand Public Space in the 1920s and 1930s .................................... 63\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter III\u003cbr\u003eThe Body as Public Sphere:\u003cbr\u003eTaking Theatre, Performance, and Music to the Streets\u003cbr\u003ein the Turbulent 1960s and 1970s ................................................ 103\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter IV\u003cbr\u003eOff the Grid:\u003cbr\u003eArt Practices and Public Space in the Contemporary Period ...... 159\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEpilogue ....................................................................................... 211","brand":"Buchserien.de","offers":[{"title":"Neuware","offer_id":53942005825874,"sku":"9783868218350","price":29.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/7002\/3593\/files\/unnamed_42001358-544d-4021-814a-4a5309f7fa7b.jpg?v=1783379154","url":"https:\/\/www.buchserien.de\/products\/off-the-grid","provider":"Buchserien.de","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
