"For too long Social Practice has been the notoriously flimsy
flipside of market-based contemporary art: a world of hand-wringing
practitioners easily satisfied with the feeling of 'doing good' in
a community, and unaware that their quasi-activist, anti-formalist
positions in fact have a long artistic heritage and can be
critically dissected using the tools of art and theatre history.
Helguera's spunky primer promises to offer a much-needed critical
compass for those adrift in the expanded social field." -Claire
Bishop, Professor of Contemporary Art and Exhibition History, CUNY,
and author of Artificial Hells: Participatory Art and the Politics
of Spectatorship "This is an extremely timely and thoughtful
reference book. Drawn from empirical and extensive experience and
research, it provides a curriculum and framework for thinking about
the complexity of socially engaged practices. Locating the
methodologies of this work in between disciplines, Helguera draws
on histories of performance, pedagogy, sociology, ethnography,
linguistics, community and public practices. Rather than propose a
system he exposes the temporalities necessary to make these
situations possible and resonant. This is a tool that will allow us
to consider the difficulties of making socially engaged art and
move closer to finding a language through which we can represent
and discuss its impact." -Sally Tallant, Artistic Director,
Liverpool Biennial "Helguera has produced a highly readable book
that absolutely needs to be in the back pocket of anyone interested
in teaching or learning about socially engaged art" -Tom
Finkelpearl, Director of the Queens Museum, New York, and author of
Dialogues in Public Art
