Drawing on avant-garde movements of the 1960s and 1970s as well as conceptual and sociological approaches in contemporary art, this title examines diverse strategies of collective authorship in art-making. The book also investigates how the collaborative models identified can be cultivated on a broader social level calling into question the shifting dynamics of collaboration in the face of rapidly dissolving fundamental social structures.
