The dozen essays here focus on a variety of artistic and cultural practices that help to define the "art" of public art and the "activism" of the activist artist. Informative and helpful new material on the Women's Action Coalition, the Guerrilla Girls and The Art and Homeless Collaborative stand next to more art historical essays. Public art / activist art today exists at a critical junction in the social history of this country, questioning the nature of art, the political process, public perception and insidious forms of control and domination - including the often didactic and well-intentioned artist who condescendingly helps certain social groups for personal advantage.
