 PLACE OF ART           TEXTS 

MARCH 2020 — No2 — "CRITICAL GEOGRAPHY"

The second issue of the "Place of Art" journal is devoted to the topic of critical geography. Inside the issue authors raise the questions of mapping the places of art, of searching for a new methodology for "horizontal" art history, as well as the questions of stability both of the place of art and the artwork. The issue contains materials of the "Place of Art" section at the conference "Theories and Practices of Art and Design: Sociocultural, Economic and Political Contexts", held on April 11, 2019, at the HSE Art and Design School
