Artist-Run Europe

First published in 2016, this groundbreaking study has become an essential resource for artist-run spaces, artists, academics and students. This second edition features an expanded index, including 50 additional spaces and, for the first time, initiatives from Ukraine. Combining a practical guide, historical overview and socio-political critique, Artist-Run Europe explores the conditions, organisational models and role of artist-led practices in contemporary art and society. Through critical contributions, it examines their relationship with institutions, their alternative structures, sustainability, cultural value and contribution to civil society, while considering their future possibilities and trajectories.
