Rezensionen

"Art in Community provides an astute analysis of art, community and government in a world shaped by neo-liberal policies and increasing cultural diversity. Resisting the celebratory tone of creative industries discourse and community arts practice, the book is alive to the contradictions of contemporary art-making. Khan lucidly argues that provisionality is symptomatic of the evolving relations between culture, politics and subjectivity." - Greg Noble, University of Western Sydney, Australia
