Kwon, Miwon. 2007. One Place After Another : Site-Specific Art and Locational Identity. Washington University in St. Louis, University Libraries, Urban Books, accessed February 10, 2026, https://digitalexhibits.library.wustl.edu/s/urban-books/item/3072

Title: One place after another : site-specific art and locational identity
Creator: Kwon, Miwon
Date: 2008
Description: Title Description - One Place after Another offers a critical history of site-specific art since the late 1960s and a theoretical framework for examining the rhetoric of aesthetic vanguardism and political progressivism associated with its many permutations. Informed by urban theory, postmodernist criticism in art and architecture, and debates concerning identity politics and the public sphere, the book addresses the siting of art as more than an artistic problem. It examines site specificity as a complex cipher of the unstable relationship between location and identity in the era of late capitalism. The book addresses the work of, among others, John Ahearn, Mark Dion, Andrea Fraser, Donald Judd, Renée Green, Suzanne Lacy, Iñigo Manglano-Ovalle, Richard Serra, Mierle Laderman Ukeles, and Fred Wilson. 29 June 2009 (printedmatter.org).
