Current issues in the field such as the role of physicians in art therapy, how to treat patients with different needs, volunteer programs versus paid, training, and evaluation of the programs, are discussed.

and not autonomy.

themselves using banners.

In part reflecting on the "Public Art of Recollection" conference held in San Jose, California in 1995, the author discusses controversy surrounding public memorials in the United States, noting that many memorials do not reflect immigrant or minority experiences, and that many people feel only those involved in tragedies should be allowed to create the memorials that remind us of them.

---. "Mapping the terrain: the new public art." Public Art Review 5.1
(1993): 26-33.

Public artist Suzanne Lacy discusses in this article a new public art that is defined not by its location, but by its interaction with the public, the artist's intentions, and its audience composition. She explores the directions public art may take into the next century, looking at the social

In attempting to gauge the worth of her performance work with women, she proposes three aspects that must be considered: the quality of the experience for participants and audience, the model the work provides for exploration of other issues in different circumstances, and the lifespan of the processes set in motion by the performance.

Lavery, John. "Artist as monument, artist as meal: Taras Polataiko." NeWest Review 19.2 (1993-1994): 9-11.

The author examines Ukrainian-Canadian artist Taras Polataiko's Artist as a Politician: In the Shadow of a Monument (1992), in which Polataiko bronzed himself like a statue in order to stand on a pedestal and wordlessly
confront a memorial statue of Governor General Ray Hnatyshyn (of Ukrainian origin) in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. The performance, according to the
author, successfully addressed issues of monumentalizing, identity, and representation. He also considers Polataiko's Artist as a Meal (in which the
artist was wheeled around on a trolley, naked except for a few pieces of fruit, and offered as dessert to some
party-goers) as an example of how Polataiko effectively questions the artist's role in society.

Nabakowski, G., and P. Kipphoff. "Pro und Contra ‘Frauenkunst' Gibt es Die? [Pro and contra: does ‘Women's Art' exist?]" Art: Das Kunstmagazin 2 (1982): 68-71.

Nabakowski argues that "women's art" can only be identified in the twentieth century, citing Suzanne Lacy and Leslie Labowitz as artists who have adapted traditional symbols of female domesticity and sexuality to suit their needs. Kipphoff believes that motives behind exhibitions such as the 1981 Bonn Typical Woman show will lead to artistic ghettoization of women. She argues that great art by women comments more on their time than on their sex, even though gender is usually a primary concern in their work.

Nadaner, D. "Intervention and irony." Vanguard 13.7 (1984): 13-14.

The author discusses ideological imagery put forth by the dominant culture in society, and the artist as one who intervenes between this imagery and the spectator.

Ross-Bryant, Lynn. "Imagination and the re-valorization of the feminine." JAAR Thematic Studies 48.2 (1981): 105-117.

Ross-Bryant observes that Western religion and culture has historically devalued women in the context of its patriarchal values, and proposes a new way of seeing that is polycentric, assigning value to many changing groups
and centres instead of placing one centre in a position of superiority over all others. She traces the devaluation of women from the Biblical myth of creation, pointing out how this dichotomy of man/woman has led to a polarized way of thinking, and goes on to use some women artists and
writers as examples of how women's autobiography disrupts this polarization and affirms community rather than individualism.

Simpson case to raise money for a battered women's shelter, the distribution on car windshields of a questionnaire about race, class, and sexual preference (which looked like a ticket), selling junk
from the town dump as "artifacts" at the Aspen Art Museum's outdoor fair, and placing an ad in the local newspaper advertising "fabulous real estate" in Rwanda. The article also mentions the work by Suzanne Lacy, Wendy Ewald, Lauren Marks, Rachel Rosenthal, and Topher Delaney.

This article consists of a transcript of a discussion between performance artists Lacy and Rosenthal.
