Asking the Audience by Adair Rounthwaite

Asking the Audience by Adair Rounthwaite

How participatory art enabled collaboration between institutions and politicized artists in 1980s New York

"Asking the Audience provides an invaluable foundation for understanding the emergence of institutionalized social art practice over the past fifteen yearsAdair Rounthwaite's detailed discussion of the role of pedagogy and education also provides important grounding of these projects in broader intellectual trends during the 1980s and early 90s."—Grant Kester, University of California, San Diego

"As a high-definition snapshot of what cultural participation looked like toward the close of the twentieth century, Asking the Audience ultimately invites a deeper consideration of what it means today, at the dawn of the twenty-first."—Panorama

"In her commitment to pursuing archival traces of audience responses, Rounthwaite produces a textured account of a carefully selected set of works." —Postmodern Culture
