Living as Form: Socially Engaged Art from 1991-2011 (Mit Press)

Socially Engaged Art is becoming more and more popular. I am taking a class covering this topic and have been impressed by the critic and easy to understand explanations of this form of art. I actually really enjoy this book and will keep it after the semester is over.

A good read

Great resource for teaching socially engaged art course. Lots of diverse artists.

Interesting perspective, research

I attended this exhibition for the full 2 weeks. Nato Thompson's grasp of this material is complete. The show was brilliant. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in this most important work we call Social Practice.

This is an extremely unique and informative book on an increasingly important part of visual culture--socially engaged art movement. Great images and interesting vignettes about the artists and their work. Highly recommend.

Good Experience.

Nato Thompson has plenty of excerpts from artists, or descriptions of their work. Some are excellent (Claire Bishop), others I feel push the limit of what qualifies as "socially engaged art" (Women on the Waves). Nato Thompson tends to regard almost anything as SEA though.

Very pleased

Great essays and lots of good projects. Worth buying!

What a revelation - wonderful up to the minute and delivered promptly

good book. thank you for quick delivering service.

It was for my son. He's very pleased with it. It was delivered to his address promptly. That's all I can say as I haven't seen it.
