Throughout the vast interior of the United States, contemporary artists are responding to the world around them and reshaping it in unexpected ways. Published to coincide with an exhibition of the same name that first appeared last year in the Netherlands and will open in fall 2009 at the University of Chicago's Smart Museum of Art, "Heartland" offers an idiosyncratic look at innovative forms of cultural production taking place across the region. In this engaging book - part critical reader, part catalog - contributors, including novelist Dave Eggers, scholar Hasan Kwame Jeffries, and journalist Rebecca Solnit, explore the region through topics ranging from art to music to urban farming to political history. An illustrated section introduces over twenty artists featured in the exhibit, including both established figures like Kerry James Marshall and exuberant newcomers like the group Whoop Dee Doo. An appendix rounds out the volume by surveying the lively state of independent and artist-run cultural initiatives from New Orleans to Detroit.Produced by the Van Abbemuseum and the Smart Museum of Art, "Heartland" challenges expectations of place and illuminates a diverse assembly of artists who are redefining the cultural terrain of the American heartland.

The companion to a one-of-a-kind exhibition at the University of Chicago's Smart Museum of Art, "Feast: Radical Hospitality in Contemporary Art" explores the role of the meal in contemporary art. "Feast" offers the first survey of the artist-orchestrated meal: since the 1930s, the act of sharing food and drink has been used to advance aesthetic goals and foster critical engagement with the culture of the moment. Both exhibition catalogue and reader, this richly illustrated book offers an interdisciplinary exploration of the art of the meal and its relationship to questions about hospitality, politics, and culture. From the Italian Futurists' banquets in the 1930s, to 1960s and '70s conceptual and performative work, to the global prevalence of socially engaged practice today, "Feast" considers a diverse group of artists who have taken on practices of sharing food with friends, families, and strangers. After an essay by curator Stephanie Smith, the book includes new interviews with over twenty contributing artists and reprinted excerpts of classic texts.It also features a selection of contextual essays contributed by an international group of critics, writers, curators, and scholars.

Socially engaged art, by means of its transformative practice, is shaping today's institutions and the very culture of now. And in a city famous for both its physical and political structures, few creative communities are as deeply intertwined with a city's framework as those in Chicago. This volume focuses on how artists and others have worked with, within, and sometimes in opposition to large Chicago institutions, such as public schools, universities, libraries, archives, museums, and other civic bodies. Drawing from a broad range of interdisciplinary sources, it explores the far-reaching effect of socially motivated art on urban life. It grounds recent history within a longer arc of civic self-fashioning, from the Columbian Exposition of 1893 to Jane Addams' Hull House to John Dewey's legacy in arts education. The collection also examines the relationship between the city's image and the types of artistic work that flourish within its boundaries and resonate far beyond them.
