Summary: This is a book which looks at the blurring of distinction between an artwork and its public - that fine line between creator and spectator, maker and viewer, artist and audience. Drawing on contributions from practising artists, writers, curators and academics, Searching for Art's New Publics explores the ways in which artists seek to involve, create and engage with new and diverse audiences, remarking on the fine line between the experience of being inside or outside the work. The public in question ranges from passers-by engaging with the work unexpectedly, non-art volunteers signing up for participation, professionals from other disciplines invited to perform a specific role and members of particular communities who bring their own agendas to the completion of the work. Bridging the gap between practice and theory, this book offers an illustrated, artist-centred approach with essays, memoirs, interviews, case studies and a script for an unmade documentary.
