Providing a lively snapshot of the state of art and social justice
today on a global level, Entry Points accompanies the inaugural
Vera List Center Prize for Art and Politics, launched at The New
School on the occasion of the center's twentieth anniversary. This
book captures some of the most significant worldwide examples of
art and social justice and introduces an interested audience of
artists, policy makers, scholars, and writers to new ways of
thinking about how justice is defined, advanced, and practiced
through the arts. In so doing, it assembles some of the latest
scholarship in this field while refining our vocabulary for
speaking about social justice, social engagement, community
enhancement, empowerment, and even art itself. The book's first
half contains three essays by Thomas Keenan, Joao Ribas, and Sharon
Sliwinski that map the field of art and social justice. These
essays are accompanied by more than twenty profiles of recent
artist projects that consist of brief essays and artist pages. This
curated and carefully considered map of artists and projects
identifies key moments in art and social justice. The book's second
half consists of an in-depth analysis of Theaster Gates's The
Dorchester Projects, which won the inaugural Vera List Prize for
Art and Politics. Produced to complement the project's exhibition
at the Sheila C. Johnson Design Center, Parsons School of Design in
September 2013, this analysis illuminates Gates's rich, complex,
and exemplary work. This section includes an interview between
Gates and Vera List Center director Carin Kuoni; essays by Horace
D. Ballard Jr., Romi N. Crawford, Shannon Jackson, and Mabel O.
Wilson; and a number of responses to The Dorchester Projects by
faculty in departments across The New School. Published by Duke
University Press and the Vera List Center for Art and Politics at
The New School
