reviewed A Useful Art: Essays and Radio Scripts on American Design on March 12, 2008 A Useful Art: Essays and Radio Scripts on American Design
Finally! This book took me awhile to finish. I suppose it could be considered an academic text. I found it informative and at times quite interesting, but on the whole very dry. Many of the short essays which make up the book were written in a style that did not serve to truly explain or outline public art. The essays I appreciated the most included piecces by Dolores Hayden, Danielle Rice, Donna Graves, and Seitu Jones.
