21st Century Folk Art

By  Lucy Wright 2019
Folk is a slippery and divisive term with some uncomfortable associations. However, for me it doesn't represent a specific vernacular or style, nor a set of rustic artefacts once gather by Victorian collectors on bicycles and promptly preserved in aspic. It's what can happen when people, alone or together, and regardless of anything, engage in cultural practices they create for themselves. Documenting more than seven years of social practice and research by Lucy Wright. A5 book with 170gsm pages, 88pp including cover (67pp full colour images). Published by Social Art Publications, with thanks to Axisweb. You can purchase a copy of 21st Century Folk Art here: https://www.artistic-researcher.co.uk/9682549/shop
