Reviews

Marking out a knowingly complex field of contemporary scholarship on 'participation' in art and architecture, this volume is testament not only to the multiple valences of the term - artistic, social, political, civic, urban, economic, and more - and the distinct contexts in which participatory acts and forms of agency have appeared or been strategically mobilized, but also of the term’s rich and ongoing potential as a critical and artistic lens. Inviting us to continue to 'think' through participation, it will be a welcome addition to contemporary debates on the ethical and political dimensions of art and architecture. * Felicity D Scott, Associate Professor of Architecture and Director of the Program in Critical, Curatorial & Conceptual Practices in Architecture, Columbia University, USA * Intervening in vibrant debates on participation in the public sphere, Participation in Art and Architecture ranges widely over continents and cases: Sarajevo under siege, Sao Paulo between moving bodies and opened urbanism, the Acropolis and architectural erotics, Google Street View, Cairo, Mexico, and various European and American heterotopias. Tactics are examined in exhilarating historical detail, as theatrical and performative possession converts the spaces of the state into sites of contestation, and as design from the bottom up, immaterial labor, and theaters of memory are mobilized by users on the ground. This provocative collection hybridizes the disciplinary concerns of art and architecture, enriching them both. * Caroline A. Jones, Professor of Art History, History Theory & Criticism of Architecture & Art Program, MIT School of Architecture and Planning, USA *
