Reviews

Daphne Plessner helps us frame a spectrum of contemporary artistic practices, including her own, which shape civil space and 'do politics' in a new light. This is an engaged and passionate proposition for new models of citizenship that defy both the Westphalian models of the nation state and cosmopolitan imaginaries.--Dr. Noit Banai, Associate Professor, Art and Theory, Academy of Visual Arts, Hong Kong Baptist University
