In this impressive collection of essays by artists, curators and academics, there is a bold effort to address the contested spaces and disputed histories of an island that is at the edge of Europe and the Middle East. It provides a haunting testament to local perspectives and a unique contribution to the cosmopolitan approaches in contemporary art. * Nikos Papastergiadis, Director of the Research Unit of Public Cultures and Professor, University of Melbourne, Australia * This is a timely collection during a period of increased tensions in the Mediterranean and in Cyprus. Historically and art historically informed, these essays provide critical insight into how the lived experience of both Turkish and Greek communities on the island, have necessarily impacted the subjects of contemporary Cypriot art. The book situates contemporary art from Cyprus in relation to local and international art agendas and reinforces the fundamental role that a variety of art practices can play, in expanding critical dialogue and envisaging new ways of defining 'community'. * Annie E. Coombes, Professor of History of Art, Birkbeck, University of London, UK *
