Reviews

A valuable synthesis of interdisciplinary ideas and a rich compendium of case studies … The book excels as a curatorial project, bridging discourses across architecture, performance, and digital culture. * S K E N È * This is a fascinating study of the interaction of performative practice and its impact on public space - a must read for site-specific artists, urban planners and curators. * Kathleen Irwin, University of Regina, Canada *
