Lucy Lippard has been a columnist for The Village Voice, In These Times, and Z Magazine.

Cofounder of Printed Matter, the Heresies Collective, Political Art Documentation/Distribution, Artists Call Against U.S. Intervention in Central America, and other artists' organizations, she has also curated over 50 exhibitions, done performances, comics, guerilla theater, and edited several independent publications the latest of which is the decidedly local La Puente de Galisteo in her home community in New Mexico. She has infused aesthetics with politics, and disdained disinterestedness for ethical activism. In a recent review of The Lure of the Local in The New York Times Book Review, Thomas Hine states:

Lippard overwhelms us with the breadth of her reading and the comprehensiveness with which she considers the things that define place... In its final section, The Lure of the Local is revealed as a sort of art book after all. Its intent is to explore the many things that those who make art or who make judgments about art should think about when they consider art that seeks to be contextual', site-specific', or place making'.
