{"product_id":"9780822391227","title":"TEST1 Leaving Art: Writings on Performance, Politics, and Publics, 1974-2007","description":"Since the 1970s, the performance and conceptual artist Suzanne Lacy has explored women’s lives and experiences, as well as race, ethnicity, aging, economic disparities, and violence, through her pioneering community-based art. Combining aesthetics and politics, and often collaborating with other artists and community organizations, she has staged large-scale public art projects, sometimes involving hundreds of participants. Lacy has consistently written about her work: planning, describing, and analyzing it; advocating socially engaged art practices; theorizing the relationship between art and social intervention; and questioning the boundaries separating high art from popular participation. By bringing together thirty texts that Lacy has written since 1974, \u003ci\u003eLeaving Art\u003c\/i\u003e offers an intimate look at the development of feminist, conceptual, and performance art since those movements’ formative years. In the introduction, the art historian Moira Roth provides a helpful overview of Lacy’s art and writing, which in the afterword the cultural theorist Kerstin Mey situates in relation to contemporary public art practices.","brand":"Duke University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47111384170736,"sku":"9780822391227","price":17.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780822391227_p0.jpg?v=1763752927","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780822391227","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
