Evictions: Art and Spatial Politics (The Graham Foundation / MIT Press series in contemporary architectural discourse) Book
"Rosalyn Deutsche speaks in a language foreign to architectural debate: questioning, disruptive, uncompromising. . . . I would recommend, even implore anyone prepared to risk the comfort of their own position to read this book and embrace its arguments." -- Gillian Horn, Building Design Since the 1980s a great deal has been written on the relationship between art, architecture, and urban planning and design, on the one hand, and the politics of space, on the other. In Evictions Rosalyn Deutsche investigates--and protests against--the dominant uses of this interdisciplinary discourse. Deutsche argues that critics on both the left and the right invoke harmonious images of space that conceal and justify exclusions--whether the space in question is a city, park, institution, exhibition, identity, or work of art. By contrast, she calls for a democratic spatial critique that takes account of the conflicts that produce and maintain all spaces, including the space of politics itself. Opposing the nostalgic belief that democracys survival demands the recovery of a once unified public sphere, Deutsche contends that conflict, far from undermining public space, is a prerequisite for its existence and growth.Read More
