1998164848Cambridge MA: MIT Press 1998. Hardcover. VG- light corner bumping. Color-illustrated boards with navy and white lettering. 172 pp. Color and BW illustrations. This book addresses one of the most troubling questions of contemporary art theory and practice: Who is contemporary art for Although the divide between contemporary art and the public has long been acknowledged this is the first time that artists critics and the public have come together to debate the problem and to make artmaking criticism and public reaction part of the same process. Like the exhibitions discussions and seminars held at "The Castle" during the summer 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta this book is based on the premise that contemporary artists and the general public have something to say to each other. By positing the space of "conversation" as one in which artworks can be experienced as creative sites open to multilayered interpretations by changing audiences the book provides an antidote to the modernist connoisseurial silence that has long been used to define quality. -Amazon.
