You've probably seen desire lines—those worn, informal trails that traverse diagonally across the grass in a park—rather than the rectilinear concrete sidewalks around the park that planners intended you to fol-low. Desire Lines in Artistic Research draws from the concept of the desire line to examine how curiosity and desire drive artistic research and practice, and what directions this inquiry takes. This anthology, a diverse set of desires ranging from gastronomy and composition to poetry and space travel, situates the desire line as both methodology and subject. The texts offer insights into how we encounter and negotiate given conditions in order to reimagine the limitations these conditions propose.
