This book presents a broad scope of global contemporary art projects, establishing a new philosophical framework to understand and evaluate the new art practice known as "place-as-medium". This new category of art practice creates artworks that deepen our belonging to place, and remake the world, each according to the new forms they bring into being and the unique ways in which they ask us to think through them together. This book shows the ways in which place-as-medium art reshapes the ground of thinking by offering a new reading of the work of Alfredo Jaar through the theories of Jacques Rancière, Gianni Vattimo, and Martin Heidegger. The book advocates for shared authorship exemplified in artworks by Theaster Gates and John Preus that use repair and renovation to rebuild communities, and provides a model for ecological thinking through place-as-medium in a case study of The Swamp School by Nomeda and Gediminas Urbonas. Additionally, the book includes a CODA for Place-as-Medium as a practical guide for artists to think through place. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, contemporary art, and philosophy.
