Reviews

Praise for Artificial Hells * : * Claire Bishop has articulated an important historical overview of the global emergence of participatory art...Her controversial and thought-provoking conclusions courageously trouble our assumptions about the effectiveness of political artworks, questioning their oppositional quality, their effects on the audiences they reach, and their relation to the institutions that promote them. * Frank Jewett Mather Award, 2013 * A critically challenging work of vital scholarship * Publishers Weekly * Combines vast historical knowledge with a precise analysis of individual artistic practices. So much so that at the end of her new book we have begun to fall in love with hell - under the condition that it remains artificial. -- Boris Groys, author of <i>Art Power</i>
