Class War on Wonga
UK activist group Class War’s ‘WAR ON wonga’ campaign is viewed via Boltanski and Chiapello’s critique of capitalism – The New Spirit of Capitalism (2005[1999]) – namely as a form of social critique. Wonga has emerged as the UK’s leading payday loan company since it was founded in 2007, and should be recognized as a product of the culture of financialization. Class War’s campaign is a response to the linkage between inequality and entrepreneurial…
Biotech aesthetics
Advances in biotechnology include contemporary artists working in laboratories to create living and semi-living works of art. This paper offers an account of how bio art can be read as an emerging contemporary art practice of the early twenty-first century. This draws on the art-historical precedent of Marcel Duchamp, who transformed objects from commonplace existence into works of art, and contemporary theories of art. Empirical data, in the for…
Institutions Trust Institutions Critiques by Artists of the BP/Tate Partnership
This article reevaluates the ethics of arts sponsorship by multinational capitalism as one consequence of the 2010 Gulf of Mexico catastrophe. Tate’s partnership with BP is the focus of scrutiny. BP is cast as not being socially responsible, with Tate drawn into a carbon-based economy of cultural institutions that lend weight to Big Oil. Attention is devoted to why and how artists traveling under the flag of institutional critique—Hans Haacke and…
Contemporary Afro and two-sidedness
This paper examines the cases of five mid-career artists with Afro origins – Ghada Amer, Julie Mehretu, Wangechi Mutu, Yinka Shonibare, and Kara Walker – using interviews and other data provided by the artists, dealers, curators, contemporary art historians, and a collector. Such a variety of voices follows Negri [2009. Art and Multitude: Nine Letters on Art, Followed by Metamorphoses: Art and Immaterial Labour. Translated by E. Emery. Cambridge,…
Plural public funding and Canada's contemporary art market system
This article address public funding, free markets, and contemporary art in Canada as shaped by forces integral to the formation of Canada as a nation state and its continual development. Canada has a network of publicly funded institutions in support of contemporary art. Public funding for the arts is direct and plural: it operates at three levels of government – federal, provincial and municipal – and is distributed by government departments and…
Arts Management
The second edition of Arts Management has been thoroughly revised to provide an updated, comprehensive overview of this fast-changing subject. Arts managers and students alike are offered a lively, sophisticated insight into the artistic, managerial and social responsibilities necessary for those working in the field. With new cases studies and several new chapters, Derrick Chong takes an interdisciplinary approach in examining some of the main i…
Why critical writers on the arts and management matter
The focus of the paper is to put forward the case that critical perspectives on the relationship between the arts and management deserve greater attention. Three cultural critics (beyond the conventional management pale) have questioned the growing managerialist orientation of arts organizations. Raymond Williams has been concerned with the spread of the consumer ideal into non-commercial fields. Hans Haacke has drawn attention to the complex rel…
