A hybrid inquiry into Australia's experimental, radical, artist-run initiatives

Excavating a shared history of independent practice stretching back to the 1980s, Permanent Recession situates new research into artist-run initiatives within a rich continuum of debate about the Australian artmaking context. Hybrid in form, the book is part research, part advocacy document and part literary review.
