It unearths the connections and historical moments that draw public exhibitions and public art together and the differences that set them apart. \u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book is grounded in ongoing international exchanges and draws on the breadth of artistic and curatorial work in the field. This volume brings forward as many voices as possible to reflect on their experiences with Nuit Blanche and public art, creating a diversity of perspectives on this evolving event\/festival\/exhibition\/happening. While the aim is to present the history of Nuit Blanche through the lens of its different urban incarnations, the volume also seeks to capture its decolonial and BIPOC energies alongside its more radical and utopian aspirations. This collection of essays, therefore, emphasizes the political changes that are reflected in the curatorial programming of recent Nuit Blanche exhibitions, with a new generation of curators and artists who have created ruptures and disruptions by proposing new models of public art with engagements that simultaneously question, decentre, and expand experiences of the city. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eHolding Ground \u003c\/i\u003eis published by PUBLIC Books and distributed by Wilfrid Laurier University Press\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Janine Marchessault\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0921344562\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780921344568\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Public Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.80h x 8.30w x 0.90d","brand":"Janine Marchessault","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48443741831423,"sku":"9780921344568","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a6b33bc8-a168-4e5b-b6e7-bf8fae3fe8d3.jpg?v=1777207530","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/holding-ground-janine-marchessault-9780921344568","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
