Revelry and Risk

"Revelry and Risk" inaugurates the publication program of the Social Practice Area at the California College of the Arts. It features the work of Bridget Barnhart, Anne Devine, Jennifer Durban, Amanda Herman, and Carly Troncale with essays by Ted Purves and Randall Szott. The projects presented in this book span such disparate practices as urban and rural interventions, curation, guerilla architecture, social sculpture, project-based community practice, service dispersals and performance. These varied forms of public strategy are critically linked by theories of relational art, social aesthetics, pluralism and democracy.
