Description
Focusing on contemporary, international spectatorship, new work, and new media, this issue asks who is watching, how, and why. The essays cover concepts of audience in urban performance in Colombia, in Germany's halls of parliament, on subways, and on chatroulette.com; urban "folk art" and flash mobs in New York; and traditional auditoriums where ghostly images conjure absent performers.
