Abstract
During the final month of the 2012 US election cycle, Provisions Library assembled four artist-researchers in the capital to consider deliberative democracy, electoral politics, public transparency, and popular citizenship through creative research projects. Provisions Research Fellows reacted to the conditions of the election and the tenor of the times through projects that reflected on the architecture, geography, and politics of the District, using the city as a platform and stage for reflecting upon founding principles and possible revisions to the ideas of governance that inform our political context.
Description
