Abstract

Artists are everywhere, from celebrities showing at MoMA to locals hoping for a spot on a café wall. They are photographed at gallery openings in New York and Los Angeles, hustle in fast-gentrifying cities, and, sometimes, make quiet lives in Midwestern monasteries. Some command armies of fabricators while others patiently teach schoolchildren how to finger-knit. All of these artists might well be shown in the same exhibition, the quality of work far more important than education or income in determining whether one counts as a "real" artist. In The Work of Art, Alison Gerber explores these art worlds to investigate who artists are (and who they're not), why they do the things they do, and whether a sense of vocational calling and the need to make a living are as incompatible as we've been led to believe. Listening to the stories of artists from across the United States, Gerber finds patterns of agreements and disagreements shared by art-makers from all walks of life. For professionals and hobbyists alike, the alliance of love and money has become central to contemporary art-making, and danger awaits those who fail to strike a balance between the two. The stories artists tell are just as much a part of artistic practice as putting brush to canvas or chisel to marble. By explaining the shared ways that artists account for their activities-the analogies they draw, the arguments they make-Gerber reveals the common bases of value artists point to when they say: what I do is worth doing. The Work of Art asks how we make sense of the things we do and shows why all this talk about value matters so much.

Abstract

Dans nos sociétés, les artistes, tout comme les scientifiques et les chefs d’entreprise, sont perçus comme des modèles en termes d’innovation. Il n’est donc pas surprenant que l’éducation artistique soit souvent considérée comme un moyen de développer des compétences perçues comme essentielles pour l’innovation : pensée critique et créative, motivation, confiance en soi, et capacité à communiquer et coopérer efficacement, mais aussi des compétences dans des disciplines scolaires non artistiques telles que les mathématiques, les sciences, la lecture et l’écriture. L’éducation artistique a-t-elle vraiment un impact positif sur les trois sous-ensembles de compétences formant ce que nous appellerons ici « les compétences liées à l’innovation » : compétences techniques, compétences de réflexion et de créativité, et caractère (compétences comportementales et sociales) ? Cet ouvrage dresse un état des lieux des connaissances empiriques concernant l’impact de l’éducation artistique sur ce genre de retombées. Les différents types d’éducation artistique étudiés comprennent l’enseignement des arts dans le cadre scolaire (cours de musique, d’arts plastiques, de théâtre et de danse), les cours intégrant un enseignement artistique (où les arts sont enseignés en accompagnement d’une discipline scolaire), et l’enseignement artistique se déroulant en dehors du cadre scolaire (par ex., les cours particuliers de musique, les cours extrascolaires de théâtre, d’arts plastiques et de danse). Ce rapport ne porte pas, en revanche, sur l’enseignement théorique des arts ni sur l’éducation culturelle, qui peuvent intervenir dans tout type de disciplines.

Abstract

Art and the Global Economy analyzes major changes in the global art world that have emerged in the last twenty years including structural shifts in the global art market; the proliferation of international art fairs, biennials and blockbuster exhibitions; and the internationalization of the scope of contemporary art. John Zarobell explores the economic and social transformations in the cultural sphere, the results of greater access to information about art, exhibitions, and markets around the world, as well as the increasing interpenetration of formerly distinct geographical domains. By considering a variety of locations-both long-standing art capitals and up-and-coming centers of the future-Art and the Global Economy facilitates a deeper understanding of how globalization affects the domain of the visual arts in the twenty-first century. With contributions by Lucia Cantero, Mariana David, Valentin Diaconov, Kai Lossgott, Grace Murray, Chhoti Rao, Emma Rogers and Michelle Wong.
