Lauren Rosati and Mary Anne Staniszewski, MIT Press, SeptemberWith the recent publication of \u201C112 Greene Street: The Early Years\u201D by Jessamyn Fiore and the New Museum\u2019s upcoming \u201CCome Closer: Art Around the Bowery, 1969-1989,\u201D New York\u2019s underground, DIY art scene is a hot subject, and we\u2019re sure MIT\u2019s newest book will help portray the scene more fully.\u201CBarry Mcgee,\u201D Ed.

There\u2019s so much left to be learned about video games as a discrete art form, but this should provide a start.To see this list along with cover art from each title click the slide show.&amp;nbsp;[content:shareblock]"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
