L'art comme alternative – Réseaux et pratiques d'art parallèle au Québec – 1976-1996

As a critical sociologist rather than an art historian, Guy Siou Durand recounts the history of alternative networks, situating self-management and artistic risk at the heart of their relations with the State. The author deconstructs the architecture of networks and presents a sociological and critical analysis of the evolution of collective projects, and their quest to invent an art outside of institutions.
