{"product_id":"critical-landscapes-emily-eliza-scott-9780520285491","title":"Critical Landscapes: Art, Space, Politics","description":"From Francis Alÿs and Ursula Biemann to Vivan Sundaram, Allora \u0026amp; Calzadilla, and the Center for Urban Pedagogy, some of the most compelling artists today are engaging with the politics of land use, including the growth of the global economy, climate change, sustainability, Occupy movements, and the privatization of public space. Their work pivots around a set of evolving questions: In what ways is land, formed over the course of geological time, also contemporary and formed by the conditions of the present? How might art contribute to the expansion of spatial and environmental justice? Editors Emily Eliza Scott and Kirsten Swenson bring together a range of international voices and artworks to illuminate this critical mass of practices. One of the first comprehensive treatments of land use in contemporary art, \u003ci\u003eCritical Landscapes\u003c\/i\u003e skillfully surveys the stakes and concerns of recent land-based practices, outlining the art historical contexts, methodological strategies, and geopolitical phenomena. This cross-disciplinary collection is destined to be an essential reference not only within the fields of art and art history, but also across those of cultural geography, architecture and urban planning, environmental history, and landscape studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Emily Eliza Scott\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520285492\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520285491\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/02\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 6.90w x 0.80d","brand":"Emily Eliza Scott","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46372299014399,"sku":"9780520285491","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bfa4c742-b8b0-4dd5-983d-67b45ce731df.jpg?v=1732725564","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/critical-landscapes-emily-eliza-scott-9780520285491","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
