Description
From property deeds to shipping containers to wearable shelters to virtual spaces: what does it mean to be at home? In a world in which notions of place are constantly changing, Jennifer Johung looks at new constructions of staying in place-in contemporary site-specific art, digital media, portable architecture, and various other imaginable shelters and sites.
Author Biography
Jennifer Johung is assistant professor of art history at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee and director of the Art History Gallery.
Reviews"The study of architecture and installation from a performance studies perspective is an exciting and emerging research area, and Replacing Home is a provocative book that discusses a rich set of artists and artworks. Jennifer Johung breaks important ground by addressing more recent, under-researched developments such as mobile architecture, body architecture, and 'relational architecture.'" -John McKenzie, University of Wisconsin, Madison
