A critical history of site-specificity since the late 1960s, with a focus on a deconstruction of the rhetorics of progressive politics which accompanied many community-based and public art projects. Uses the concept of ‘site specificity’ as a lens through which to consider ‘location,’ and ‘identity’ in late capitalist conditions. See in particular Chapter 5 ‘The (Un)sitings of Community,’ in which Kwon discussed the work of Critical Art Ensemble (CAE) and Renée Green.
