Description: "Forms of Action presents new perspectives on the current development of socially engaged art practices. It aims to re-assess the current terminology used when talking about engagement in and beyond the walls of art institutions. The publication presents a range of views on socially engaged artistic practice, from freelance curators working on ground-breaking projects, to para-institutional curators working in their own context and embedded within the community, as well as that of institutional curators trying to intervene socially in the structure itself of their institution."--Back cover.
Notes: Published to accompany an exhibition held at the Centre for Contemporary Arts, Glasgow, January 27-March 12, 2017.
