Inviting us to continue to 'think' through participation, it will be a welcome addition to contemporary debates on the ethical and political dimensions of art and architecture. * Felicity D Scott, Associate Professor of Architecture and Director of the Program in Critical, Curatorial \u0026amp; Conceptual Practices in Architecture, Columbia University, USA *\u003cbr\u003eIntervening in vibrant debates on participation in the public sphere, \u003ci\u003eParticipation in Art and Architecture\u003c\/i\u003e ranges widely over continents and cases: Sarajevo under siege, Sao Paulo between moving bodies and opened urbanism, the Acropolis and architectural erotics, Google Street View, Cairo, Mexico, and various European and American heterotopias. Tactics are examined in exhilarating historical detail, as theatrical and performative possession converts the spaces of the state into sites of contestation, and as design from the bottom up, immaterial labor, and theaters of memory are mobilized by users on the ground. This provocative collection hybridizes the disciplinary concerns of art and architecture, enriching them both. * Caroline A.
