[curatorial.net] Research into Participatory practices

[Joasia]

Dear Megan and the List,

To add to a number of references that address the politics of participatory
art already posted to the List I came across the following bibliographical
references - not events or works in the South West (UK) but hopefully still
useful for your research:

Claire Bishop (ed.) (2006) Participation, Cambridge, Mass.: The MIT Press
[recently reviewed in Mute by Paul Helliwell
http://www.metamute.org/en/exodus]

Melanie Franklin Cohen(2006) Who Cares, New York: Creative Time Books.

Maria Lind (2007) 'The collaborative turn', in Johanna Billing, Maria
Lind and Lars Nilsson (eds.) Taking the Matter into Common Hands: On
Contemporary Art and Collaborative Practices, London: Black Dog
Publishing. 15-31.

Ted Purves (ed.) (2004) What We Want Is Free: Generosity and Exchange
in Recent Art, New York: State University of New York Press.


Best wishes,
Joasia
