Taking the matter into common hands : on contemporary art and collaborative practices

"In recent years the art world has shown a renewed interest in collective work and activity. Collaborations between artists and curators, artists and outside professionals and artists and other artists have become increasingly common, and have raised some pertinent questions regarding authorship and authority. "Taking the matter into common hands" is a collection of essays by some of the leading voices in the field of collaborative art practice. Focusing on working conditions for artists and on collaborative initiatives with activism at their heart, the writing takes a personal, interpretive view of the subject." -- Back cover
