Nobody’s Property: Art Land, Space, 2000-2010
(Princeton University Art Museum, Distributed by Yale University Press) This book examines the recent history of environmental art and how a variety of concepts, like space, geopolitics, and urbanism, among others, are playing important roles in this type of work. Included are case studies by seven artists and two artist teams, as well as an introductory text, which offers the context for the works in Nobody’s Property. Additionally, the book contains essays on the field and the featured works, as well as the transcript of a round table discussion by several scholars from Princeton. Baum is the Haskell Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Princeton University Art Museum.
