Social Medium: Artists Writing, 2000-2015 - Paperback

by Jennifer Liese (Editor)

"A thoroughly engrossing read ... entertaining as well as intellectually stimulating."--Oliver Basciano, ArtReview

Since the turn of the millennium, artists have been writing, and circulating their writing, like never before. The seventy-five texts gathered here--essays, criticism, manifestos, fiction, diaries, scripts, blog posts, and tweets--chart a complex era in the art world and the world at large, weighing in on the exigencies of our times in unexpected and inventive ways.
