Archive Public
Performing Archives in Public Art
Topical Interpositions
Within the flexible limits of archival art today,
Archive Public examines archival art as intervention
in public space, questioning the dominant hegemony
and allowing for possibilities of solidarity actions.
The book includes theoretical hypotheses on archival
practice in contemporary art, art works that were
specifically created for the project, as well as an
anthology of essays by contemporary thinkers
who elaborate on particular issues of the archive.
Interventions focus on the urban and social condition
of Patras, as it is influenced by a translocal dynamics
which produce interrelations with other localities.
