The past twenty years have seen a new generation of artists working together in small groups and large collectives to explore new avenues of art, design, performance, multimedia, and commerce. In Come Together, author and visual artist Francesco Spampinato assembles an international roster of forty of today's most exciting and influential collectives and artist groups. Alongside visual portfolios of their best work are in-depth interviews addressing each group's unique motivations, processes, and objectives.
