“Otherwise Occupied" Book

This publication accompanies Otherwise Occupied, a collateral event at the 2013 Venice Biennale presenting work by Palestinian-born artists Bashir Makhoul and Aissa Deebi. The two installations — Giardino Occupato and The Trial — explore how Palestine has been continuously imagined and reconstructed in the consciousness of its people and diaspora.

Edited by Ryan Bishop and Gordon Hon, the volume brings together artists, curators, and scholars to examine space, memory, visibility, and representation. Contributors include Bruce Ferguson, Rawan Sharaf, John Beck, Sheila Crane, Steve Graham, Jonathan Harris, Anneka Lenssen, Sarah Rogers, and Valentin Roma.
