About

`Practice' is one of the key words of contemporary art, ranging from artists' descriptions of their practice to curatorial practice, from social practice to practice-based research. 

Once used to denote `doing', as distinct from thinking and making, today the term can convey associations of political action (praxis), professional activity, discipline or rehearsal, as well as a shift away from the self-enclosed artwork or medium to open-ended actions, series, processes and projects. This is the first anthology to investigate what contemporary notions of practice mean for art, to trace their development and speculate on where this leads.
