"The street" is a common referent for today's art, yet the history of this idea has rarely been contextualized and unpacked for a closer reading." "Looking broadly at street photography; documentation of performances, events, and artworks presented the street; as well as works made using material scavenged from the street, this volume provides an invaluable perspective on an issue that has become one of today's key concepts in contemporary art."--Jacket ER -
