Barcelona: Visual Culture, Space and Power offers a unique approach to the history of the avantgarde in Barcelona, as well as its legacy in the post-war period. It presents the relationship between environment, identity and performance as explored by countercultural artists and communities from the 1960s to the present day.
"Helena Buffery and Carlota Caulfield have assembled an excellent edition that succeeds in pushing on-going discussions of Barcelona, its space, and art in new directions. Through a series of thoughtful essays by leading critics, 'Barcelona: Visual Culture, Space and Power' provides an intriguing interdisciplinary treatment of a city that continues to enthral and challenge both locals and visitors alike. Highly recommended." Professor Robert Davidson, University of Toronto "The volume offers a fascinating, visually engaging portrait of how artists from multiple disciplines have employed innovative aesthetic practices to negotiate the urban environment of Barcelona. The included essays will most certainly appeal to readers interested in the relationship between culture and European cityscapes." Professor Sharon Feldman, University of Richmond
