Renegotiations
THE ANTHOLOGY RE-NEGOTIATIONS: The role of public art after the turn of the millennium is a result of a research project commissioned by the Public Art Agency Sweden by the Art History department at Södertörn University. The book departs from the complex situation that governs public art, permanent and temporary, whether commissioned and sanctioned by private or public funds or through on individual initiative. Art is discussed here as ongoing projects or discrete works of art, its function as value-creating, security-creating, commemorative as well as being part of short participation processes and/ or acting over a long period of time.
Art in Transfer in the Era of Pop
How should we understand post-war art? How were issues of cultural transfer and curatorial strategies dealt with in the extended 1960s - the era of pop? Art in Transfer in the Era of Pop juxtaposes issues and contexts approaching the concept and reception of Pop Art. Contributors from Europe and beyond weave a web that resists the notion of universialism, adding to art historian Piotr Piotrowski's "horizontal" art history. This volume avoids the historiographic stance where the US--Europe relationship appears to be a one-way affair. Instead, the reader is drawn into the history of the circulation and cross-pollination of ideas, the aesthetic practices and the various contexts that influenced them.

Pioneering Participatory Art Practices
Participatory art practices allow members of an audience to actively contribute to the creation of art. Annemarie Kok provides a detailed analysis and explanation of the use of participatory strategies in art in the so-called ›long sixties‹ (starting around 1958 and ending around 1974) in Western Europe. Drawing on extensive archival materials and with the help of the toolbox of the actor-network theory, she maps out the various actors of three case studies of participatory projects by John Dugger and David Medalla, Piotr Kowalski, and telewissen, all of which were part of documenta 5 (Kassel, 1972).
