Court Of Miracles

Kester, Grant

Harper/Voyager

The work of Cuban artist Tania Bruguera (born 1968) researches and performs the ways in which art can be applied to collective everyday life, focusing on the transformation of emotion into political action.
Talking to Power / Hablándole al Poder surveys Bruguera’s artworks for the public sphere created between 1985 and 2017, all of which position art as a resource for social change. This collection of works offers the reader a deep understanding of the artist’s strategies for intervening in power. Richly illustrated and including rarely seen documentation of Bruguera’s actions, this volume features texts by José Luis Falconi, Grant Kester, Suzanne Lacy, Cuauhtémoc Medina and Peggy Phelan.

Engagement Party chronicles a four-year program at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, presenting new projects by Southern California-based artist collectives and collaborators working in the field of social practice. The Museum’s aim was to challenge the convention of the museum as a collecting institution by providing a platform for the creation of socially based works, and Engagement Party is the first museum catalogue to explicitly address the issue of social practice. The catalogue includes documentation of 32 performances by CamLab, Finishing School, Liz Glynn, Ryan Heffington and the Eastsiders, Knifeandfork, The League of Imaginary Scientists, The Los Angeles Urban Rangers, Lucky Dragons, My Barbarian, Neighborhood Public Radio, OJO and Slanguage, among others.
