Documenting Michelle Lopez's major site-specific installation and critical dialogues across sculpture, race, politics and powerIn Ballast & Barricades sculptor Michelle Lopez (born 1970) critiques symbols of nationalism, power and consumption, creating a precarious urban landscape from the material remains of crisis. This monograph brings together a decade of work on this topic.

A convergence of histories and aesthetic paradigms for disentangling the body from space and placeThe artists in this volume interrogate the geographic implications of particular histories on specific spaces. From the intimate cartographies of a body to the imagined and constructed contours of the Black Atlantic; from the ecology of the North York Moors to the ruins of slave auction blocks, plantation fields, lynching trees and Underground Railroad routes in North America, to a magical realist vision of a river-bound voyage in Guyana.
