<p><em>An interesting and insightful collection of thoughts about the urgency of vision, how audiences work together with artists to enact the bodily labour of seeing and understanding, and how politics and the performative can be embedded in the material presence of art.</em> Dr FIONA BRADLEY, DIRECTOR, FRUITMARKET GALLERY<br /><br /><em>In her observant close readings of artists’ practices and interviews with artists, Sarah Lowndes shows how artists themselves have navigated this territory, giving attention to the question of politics from the perspective both of theory and of the artwork itself.</em> MELISSA GRONLUND, EDITOR, AFTERALL</p>
