Doing Politics with Citizen Art
This book examines how citizen art practices perform new kinds of politics, as distinct from normative (status, participatory and cosmopolitan) models. It contends that at a time in which the conditions of citizenship have been radically altered (e.g., by the increased securitization and individuation of bodies and so forth), there is an urgent drive for citizen art to be enacted as a tool for assessing the “hollowed out” conditions of citizenship. Citizen art, it shows, stands apart from other forms of art by performing acts of citizenship that reveal and transgress the limitations of state-centred citizenship regimes, whilst simultaneously enacting genuinely alternative modes of (non-statist) citizenship. This book offers a new formulation of citizen art—one that is interrogated on both critical and material levels, and as such, remodels the foundations on which citizenship is conceived, performed and instituted.

Within that debate two new strategies were devised, one that proposed the possibility of conceptual painting - a highly refined notion of painting that emerged from and returned to the idea - and a second, ambivalent proposition that valued actions and materials over ideas - in short, doing and making were pitted against ideas and concepts.now enjoys in Canada.
