Acts of Engagement: Writings on Art, Criticism, and Institutions, 1993-2002 : Writings on Art, Criticism, and Institutions, 1993-2002 (Culture and Politics Series)
Автор:Michael Brenson Год: 2004 Издание: [не указанo] Страниц: 320 ISBN: 0742529827 Book DescriptionActs of Engagement brings together writings spanning the extraordinarily eventful ten-year after the author left The New York Times, where he had been an art critic from 1982 to 1991. The writings fall into three broad areas: art, art criticism, and arts and cultural institutions. In each area, Brenson finds it imperative to consider issues such as responsibility, creativity, process, and voice - issues that have taken on increasing urgency as corporate culture has overcome almost every aspect of American life. If we are to understand and come to terms with the violent shift from multiculturalism to privatization and the difficult if not precarious situation American art and culture are now in, we must engage the key words that define thebook's four sections: language, identity, audience, and power.
