Summary "Through close inspection of works made by such artists as Doris Salcedo, Langlands and Bell, Francis Alys, Phyllida Barlow, Kutlag Ataman and Vong Phaophanit, Rugg considers how an interdisciplinary spatial theory can inform many elements of contemporary art. In clear, illustrated chapters, she engages with spatial issues pertinent to our times, including those of the environment, cultural identity and belonging, experiences of displacement, migration and marginalization and the effects of urbanization and tourism. For students and practitioners of fine art, art theory and history, as well as those who are fascinated by site-specific art, this is an original and challenging exploration."--BOOK JACKET
