Introduction by Daniel Birnbaum. Edited by Anton Vidokle. Text by Hans-Ulrich Obrist.
A 'refuge' provides a place of safety, a place which constitutes the necessary conditions for making work. But what are the conditions of making work for the displaced, exiled or the migrant artist when the 'place' and conditions for work have (perhaps) been erased? On Refuge looks at how such altered conditions affect the work of performance and considers how performance constructs its own production and survival. The contributors address issues of territory and asylum, home and exile, locality and migration - as they affect both artists themselves and the forms evident in contemporary performance.

With illustrations by celebrated dance photographers, the book also includes detailed information on the programmes, management and staff of the festival."
