A critical, interrogative examination of the artist-run space's role in contemporary Europe from contributors who participate in its praxisPart how-to manual, part history and part sociopolitical critique, Artist-Run Europe looks at the conditions, organizational models and role of artist-led practice within contemporary art and society. The book's aim is to evince how artist-run practice manifests itself, how artist-run spaces are a distinctive and central part of visual art culture and how they present a complex, heterogeneous and necessary set of alternatives to the art institution, museum and commercial gallery. In a self-reflexive interrogative process, contributions from artists, curators and scholars discuss concerns pertinent to the book's proposed structural subversion. What position do artist-run spaces occupy within the field of contemporary art today? Should they stand in opposition to or in parallel to other art-world structures? How is value ascribed to these often transitory practices, and is this value recognized within the field? How are these spaces organized? Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
