Playing at Home: The House in Contemporary Art/

Perry, Gill

Playing at Home: The House in Contemporary Art/ by Gill Perry - London Reaktion Books Ltd 2013 - 263 p. :

Art Since the '80s, a new series from Reaktion Books, seeks to offer compelling surveys of popular themes in contemporary art. In the first book in the series, Gill Perry reveals how the house and the idea of home have inspired a range of imaginative and playful works by artists across the globe. Exploring how artists have engaged with this theme in different contexts-from mobile homes and beach houses to haunted houses and broken homes-Playing at Home shows that our relationship with houses involves complex responses in which gender, race, class, and status overlap.
