Documentation of an influential curatorial and exhibition project by New York-based art collective Group Material (members included Doug Ashford, Julie Ault, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Mundy McLaughlin, and Tim Rollins), this book includes material on a series of roundtables, town meetings, and an exhibition project all confronting some of the most urgent issues of that time such as the AIDS crisis, the culture wars in the US, democratic representation, racism, gentrification, etc. A project that is considered an excellent example of an engaged, activist art project that truly engaged certain publics in debate and exchange beyond the art field.
