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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Duke University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46881849016471,"sku":"9780822345695","price":4288.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780822345695.webp?v=1770232662","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/leaving-art-writings-on-performance-politics-and-publics-1974-2007-9780822345695","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
