The Lure of the Local: Senses of Place in a Multicentered Society

In the Lure of the Local, Lucy R. Lippard, one of America’s most influential art writers, weaves together cultural studies, history, geography, photography, and contemporary public art to provide a fascinating exploration of our multiple senses of place. Expanding her reach far beyond the confines of the art world, she discusses community, land use, perceptions of natures, how we produce the landscape, and how the landscape affects our lives.
