520 |a Art has its Billboard charts. These are based on exhibitions and reviews, most of which focus on major art centers. This book is devoted to uncharted hits thriving instead on the margins - on rural aesthetics and rural knowledge. It presents ten years of collective works initiated by artist Richard Saxton in rural communities around the world, from the Midwest and the Southwest to parts of Europe, Australia, and South America. Saxton and his collaborators are enthusiastic champions of the rural experience. Described as "non-heroic", their projects are impossible to attribute to any one person or to any one artistic genre. This book includes a selection of photographs from Saxton's Rural Research Archive; the work of municipalWORKSHOP and the M12 Collective, collaborative groups that Saxton established in 2002 and 2007; new collaborations with like minded artists, musicians, and fiction writers; as well as informational essays about the not-so-peripheral appeal of this work.
