Invited to exhibit at the 56th Venice Biennale, e-flux journal produced a single issue over a four-month span, publishing an article a day both online and on site from Venice.

The perceived rules of the development and running of alternative spaces, and where those rules came from, are among the questions answered by the authors. The underlying message in the publication is the importance of critical thinking as well as the need for alternative thinking.

Bringing together contributors from dance, theatre, visual studies, and art history, the publication addresses the conundrum of how Live Art is positioned within history.
