Art-Based Social Enterprise, Young Creatives and the Forces of Marginalisation
by Peter Kelly Kim Humphery Grace McQuilten Amy SpiersThis book analyses the challenges and opportunities faced by art-based social enterprises (ASEs) engaging young creatives in education and training and supporting their pathways to the creative industries. In doing so, it addresses the complex intersecting issues of marginality and entrepreneurship, particularly in relation to young creatives from socially, economically and culturally diverse backgrounds. Drawing on extensive fieldwork and interviews with twelve key organisations, and three in-depth case studies in Australia, the book offers a detailed analysis of using enterprise to engage with the structural challenges of marginality. The book explores the local and global contexts through which art-based social enterprises (ASEs) operate and within which they attempt – often successfully – to improve access to education and work for emerging creatives. It also attends to the findings generated through engaging with the lived experiences of the staff and young creatives involved in our ASE case studies, in order to understand both the challenges and impacts of the ASE model on young people’s education, training, and employment pathways. The book focuses on three broad themes; precarious youth and digital futures, material practice and sustainable economies, and cultural citizenship in the urban fringe. In exploring these themes, the book contributes to debates about the limits, possibilities and challenges that attach to, and emerge from, an ASE model and highlights the ways in which these models can contribute to young people’s well-being, engagement, education and training, and work pathways. More broadly, it examines the possibilities of art as a means of social and cultural engagement. In the context of the precarious future of the creative industries, this book emphasise the ways in which young artists are building alternative economic and cultural models that support both individual pathways and collective change. This book will move the field forward with a critical lens that engages closely with experience and the lived realities of juggling multiple priorities of social, economic and artistic goals.

Art-based Group Therapy: Theory and Practice
by Bruce L. MoonPerhaps more than ever before, today's art therapists are being encouraged to apply their knowledge base to the development of strategies for community building, and art-based approaches to preventing and treating emotional problems. In many settings, individual counseling or psychotherapy is no longer financially feasible. Art-based group therapy allows art therapists to work with many more clients than would be possible in individual sessions. Moreover, art-based group process also has unique qualities that can often serve as the treatment of choice for many clients.

ArtCurious: Stories of the Unexpected, Slightly Odd, and Strangely Wonderful in Art History
by Jennifer DasalA wildly entertaining and surprisingly educational dive into art history as you've never seen it before, from the host of the beloved ArtCurious podcastWe're all familiar with the works of Claude Monet, thanks in no small part to the ubiquitous reproductions of his water lilies on umbrellas, handbags, scarves, and dorm-room posters. But did you also know that Monet and his cohort were trailblazing rebels whose works were originally deemed unbelievably ugly and vulgar? And while you probably know the tale of Vincent van Gogh's suicide, you may not be aware that there's pretty compelling evidence that the artist didn't die by his own hand but was accidentally killed--or even murdered. Or how about the fact that one of Andy Warhol's most enduring legacies involves Caroline Kennedy's moldy birthday cake and a collection of toenail clippings?ArtCurious is a colorful look at the world of art history, revealing some of the strangest, funniest, and most fascinating stories behind the world's great artists and masterpieces. Through these and other incredible, weird, and wonderful tales, ArtCurious presents an engaging look at why art history is, and continues to be, a riveting and relevant world to explore.

Artangel and Financing British Art: Adapting to Social and Economic Change (British Art: Histories and Interpretations since 1700)
by Charlotte GouldThe Artangel Trust has been credited with providing artists with all the money and logistics they need to create one-off dream projects. An independent art commissioning agency based in London, it has operated since 1985 and is responsible for producing some of the most striking ephemeral and site-specific artworks of the last decades, from Rachel Whiteread’s House to Jeremy Deller’s The Battle of Orgreave. Artangel’s existence spans three decades, which now form a coherent whole in terms of both art historical and political periodisation. It was launched as a reaction to the cuts in funding for the visual arts introduced by the Thatcher government in 1979 and has since adapted in a distinctive way to changing cultural policies. Its mixed economic model, the recourse to public, private and corporate funds, is the result of the more general hybridisation of funding encouraged by successive governments since the 1980s and offers a contemporary case study on broader questions concerning the specificities of British art patronage. This book aims to demonstrate that the singular way its directors have responded to the vagaries of public funding and harnessed new national attitudes to philanthropy has created a sustainable independent model, but also that it has been reflected more formally, in their approach to site. The locational art produced by the agency has indeed mirrored new distinctions between public and private spaces, it has reflected the social and economic changes the country has gone through and accompanied the new cultural geographies shaping London and the United Kingdom. Looking into whether their funding model might have had a formal incidence on the art they helped produce and on its relation to notions of publicness and privacy, the study of Artangel gives a fresh insight into new trends in British site-specific art.
Artaud and His Doubles
by Kimberly JannaroneArtaud and His Doublesis a radical re-thinking of one of the most influential theater figures of the twentieth century. Placing Artaud's writing within the specific context of European political, theatrical, and intellectual history, the book reveals Artaud's affinities with a disturbing array of anti-intellectual and reactionary writers and artists whose ranks swelled catastrophically between the wars in Western Europe. Kimberly Jannarone shows that Artaud's work reveals two sets of doubles: one, a body of peculiarly persistent received interpretations from the American experimental theater and French post-structuralist readings of the 1960s; and, two, a darker set of doubles—those of Artaud's contemporaries who, in the tumultuous, alienated, and pessimistic atmosphere enveloping much of Europe after World War I, denounced the degradation of civilization, yearned for cosmic purification, and called for an ecstatic loss of the self. Artaud and His Doubleswill generate provocative new discussions about Artaud and fundamentally challenge the way we look at his work and ideas.
Artaud the Moma (Columbia Themes in Philosophy, Social Criticism, and the Arts)
by Jacques DerridaIn 1996 Jacques Derrida gave a lecture at the Museum of Modern Art in New York on the occasion of Antonin Artaud: Works on Paper, one of the first major international exhibitions to present the avant-garde dramatist and poet's paintings and drawings. Derrida's original title, "Artaud the Moma," is a characteristic play on words. It alludes to Artaud's calling himself Mômo, Marseilles slang for "fool," upon his return to Paris in 1946 after nine years in various asylums, while playing off of the museum's nickname, MoMA. But the title was not deemed "presentable or decent," in Derrida's words, by the very institution that chose to exhibit Artaud's work. Instead, the lecture was advertised as "Jacques Derrida . . . will present a lecture about Artaud's drawings."For Derrida, what was at stake was what it meant for the museum to exhibit Artaud's drawings and for him to lecture on Artaud in that institutional context. Thinking over the performative force of Artaud's work and the relation between writing and drawing, Derrida addresses the multiplicity of Artaud's identities to confront the modernist museum's valorizing of originality. He channels Artaud's specter, speech, and struggle against representation to attempt to hold the museum accountable for trying to confine Artaud within its categories. Artaud the Moma, as lecture and text, reveals the challenge that Artaud posed to Derrida—and to art and its institutional history. A powerful interjection into the museum halls, this work is a crucial moment in Derrida's thought and an insightful, unsparing reading of a challenging writer and artist.
Arte Ambientale, Urban Space, and Participatory Art (Routledge Advances in Art and Visual Studies)
by Martina TangaWorking in 1970s Italy, a group of artists—namely Ugo La Pietra, Maurizio Nannucci, Francesco Somaini, Mauro Staccioli, Franco Summa, and Franco Vaccari—sought new spaces to create and exhibit art. Looking beyond the gallery, they generated sculptural, conceptual, and participatory interventions, called Arte Ambientale (Environmental Art), situated in the city streets. Their experiments emerged at a time of cultural crisis, when fierce domestic terrorism aggravated an already fragile political situation. To confront the malaise, these artists embraced a position of artistic autonomy and social critique, democratically connecting the city's inhabitants through direct art practices.

Arte Programmata: Freedom, Control, and the Computer in 1960s Italy
by Lindsay CaplanTracing the evolution of the Italian avant-garde&’s pioneering experiments with art and technology and their subversion of freedom and control In postwar Italy, a group of visionary artists used emergent computer technologies as both tools of artistic production and a means to reconceptualize the dynamic interrelation between individual freedom and collectivity. Working contrary to assumptions that the rigid, structural nature of programming limits subjectivity, this book traces the multifaceted practices of these groundbreaking artists and their conviction that technology could provide the conditions for a liberated social life.Situating their developments within the context of the Cold War and the ensuing crisis among the Italian left, Arte Programmata describes how Italy&’s distinctive political climate fueled the group&’s engagement with computers, cybernetics, and information theory. Creating a broad range of immersive environments, kinetic sculptures, domestic home goods, and other multimedia art and design works, artists such as Bruno Munari, Enzo Mari, and others looked to the conceptual frameworks provided by this new technology to envision a way out of the ideological impasses of the age.Showcasing the ingenuity of Italy&’s earliest computer-based art, this study highlights its distinguishing characteristics while also exploring concurrent developments across the globe. Centered on the relationships between art, technology, and politics, Arte Programmata considers an important antecedent to the digital age.

Arte y belleza en la estética medieval
by Umberto EcoUna compilación de las teorías estéticas elaboradas por la cultura del Medioevo, desde el siglo VI hasta el XV de nuestra era. El concepto de «estética» nace en Europa en el siglo XVII y, por lo tanto, muchas historias de la estética tomaron en escasa consideración las teorías de la belleza y del arte elaboradas antes de estas fechas. Ahora bien, desde hace muchos años la actitud de los historiadores ha cambiado y la Edad Media se ha valorizado como una época rica en especulaciones fascinantes sobre la belleza, el placer estético, el gusto, la belleza natural y la artificial, las relaciones entre el arte y las demás actividades humanas. En este compendio de las teorías estéticas elaboradas por la cultura del Medioevo, desde el siglo VI hasta el XV de nuestra era, Eco reconoce, de forma accesible para el lector no especializado, las etapas de un debate que presenta aspectos dramáticos y apasionantes, y nos permite entender mejor la mentalidad y el gusto artístico del hombre medieval. Reseña:«Un estudio delicioso... Tremendamente lúcido y fácil de leer, el ensayo de Eco está cargado de excelencia y de la energía de un hombre enamorado de la materia.»Boston Globe
Arte-ciencia vs ciencia-arte
by Susana Mónica Rúa López<P>El protagonismo del arte, la cultura, el derecho y la comunicación integrados a una ciencia impregnada de humanismo son los pilares fundamentales para acompañar al individuo en el proceso de crecimiento, en su educación, en su reeducación en los procesos terapéuticos de rehabilitación y reinserción. <P>El arte excede, transgrede, llega a una instancia de uno mismo donde se encuentran los misterios, el dolor y la liberación del pesar, la rabia, la desesperación, el anhelo y la esperanza. Negar lo biológico no es prudente pues es un componente del ser humano por naturaleza. La modalidad de enfermar está ligada a la cultura, el derecho y la comunicación. El modelo social con menor desarrollo espiritual en relación a otros momentos históricos, se presenta impregnado de materialismo y tecnológicamente avanzado. Dicta en consecuencia modelos que bloquean y esto hace que a veces enferme. <P>No se trata de renegar contra la modernidad sino integrarla para colaborar con el individuo; brindarle elementos a éste de cómo utilizarla en beneficio de un crecimiento sano. Una ciencia despojada de humanismo y que reniega de su historia no acompaña al individuo en su crecimiento sino colabora a que enferma. <P>El arte integrado a un equipo interdisciplinario se presenta con un conjunto de elementos para colaborar a ofrecer un servicio que coadyuve a su felicidad.
