About The Lure Of The Local: Senses Of Place In A
Review An excellent reference guide to recent and historical place-oriented art and activism. -- PreservationLippard has signaled the highest political hopes of art, from her early embrace of '60s conceptual art to her '70s support of feminism to her careful documentation in the '80s of the art of America's ethnic communities. . . [The Lure of the Local] arrives at an auspicious time, as interest in community history is on the rise throughout the country. . . An encyclopedic study of the art of community. -- Portland OregonianLippard overwhelms us with the breadth of her reading and the comprehensiveness with which she considers the things that define place. . . [The Lure of the Local] could equally well turn up in areas like environment, planning, women's studies, geography, and current affairs. -- New York Times Book Review Product Description In The Lure of the Local, Lucy R. Lippard, one of America's most influential art writers, weaves together cultural studies, history, geography, and contemporary art to provide a fascinating exploration of our multiple senses of place. Expanding her reach far beyond the confines of the art world, she discusses community, land use, perceptions of nature, how we produce the landscape, and how the landscape affects our lives. In this extensively illustrated, beautifully produced volume, she consistently makes unexpected connections between contemporary art and its political, social, and cultural contexts. About the Author Lucy R. Lippard's books include Mixed Blessings, Overlay, Partial Recall, and The Pink Glass Swan (all available from The New Press). She has been a columnist for the Village Voice, In These Times, and Z Magazine and was the cofounder of Printed Matter. She lives in Galisteo, New Mexico, and spends summers in Georgetown, Maine.
