Abstract (English)
This guide provides detailed descriptions of 57 American artist-run organizations. The 12 accompanying essays by directors and artists describe the rise of artist-run centres in the United States, and their workings, trace parallels between alternative spaces and the women's art movement and explore topics such as the traditional museum, institution, artists' books, and alternative periodicals.
