Conversation Pieces by Grant H Kester

Some of the most innovative art over the years has been created far outside conventional galleries and museums. This title discusses a disparate network of artists and collectives united by a desire to create new forms of understanding through creative dialogue that crosses boundaries of race, religion, and culture.

"A brilliant critical re-evaluaton of art critical methodologies" * Leonardo *
"A much-needed discussion regarding a practice that is too often ignored. We need a dialogue about what community art is and could be . . . [and] need more discussions like Kester’s that question the traditional roles of artists and audiences." * Public Art Review *
"Conversation Pieces nobly records and analyzes dialogical art with a respect that very few critics have offered thus far." * Flaunt *
