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.
