Beskrivning
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.

Recensioner i media

Daphne Plessner helps us frame a spectrum of contemporary artistic practices, including her own, which shape civil space and ‘do politics’ in a new light. This is an engaged and passionate proposition for new models of citizenship that defy both the Westphalian models of the nation state and cosmopolitan imaginaries.
