DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Chicago-based art program "Culture in Action" addressed such pressing urban issues as minority youth leadership and gang violence, HIV/AIDS caregiving, public housing, multicultural demographics and neighborhood, achievements by women, labor and management relations, and ecology. "Culture in Action" took place from 1992 through 1993 and was organized by Sculpture Chicago, a decade-old visual arts organization that specializes in unique public art and education programs. Seeking to bridge art and life, eight innovative artist and community partnerships unfolded with results as diverse as a storefront hydroponic garden, a new line of candy, and an ecological field station. These investigations into urban artmaking were activated by participating artists selected by curator Mary Jane Jacob for their interest in critical social issues and testing the boundaries of public art.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA leading activist museum director explains why museums are at the center of a political storm In an age of protest, cultural institutions have come under fire. Protestors have mobilized against sources of museum funding, as happened at the Metropolitan Museum, and against board appointments, forcing tear gas manufacturer Warren Kanders to resign at the Whitney. That is to say nothing of demonstrations against exhibitions and artworks. Protests have roiled institutions across the world, from the Abu Dhabi Guggenheim to the Akron Art Museum. A popular expectation has grown that galleries and museums should work for social change. As Director of the Queens Museum, Laura Raicovich helped turn that New York muni- cipal institution into a public commons for art and activism, organizing high-powered exhibitions that doubled as political protests. Then in January 2018, she resigned, after a dispute with the Queens Museum board and city officials. This public controversy followed the museum’s responses to Donald Trump’s election, including her objections to the Israeli government using the museum for an event featuring Vice President Mike Pence. In this lucid and accessible book, Raicovich examines some of the key museum flashpoints and provides historical context for the current controversies. She shows how art museums arose as colonial institutions bearing an ideology of neutrality that masks their role in upholding conservative, capitalist values. And she suggests ways museums can be reinvented to serve better, public ends.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"The Talking Cure," takes its name from Sigmund Freud's original description of psychoanalysis. I made twelve sculptures- some of the folks living in my brain made real. I then asked twelve writers- poets, novelists, screenwriters, and playwrights- to each choose a sculpture to which they related most intimately. Each wrote his or her imagined monologue of the goings on in the sculpture's mind. The next step in the game was to find twelve actors and have them each record one of the monologues. With minimum direction from me, they spoke their interpretations of the written pieces that had in turn been inspired by each sculpture. It's been like a game of "whisper down the lane" with each participant interpreting what they see or read and giving each next step a little tweak of their own. The audio recordings were coded and sent up onto the Inter-Web. When you point your phone at the code it triggers the audios. And now, by looking, reading and listening to the work, you too will become part of the collaboration." --excerpted from The Talking Cure [introduction] -Melissa Stern, Feb. 12, 2012

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn that moment, I felt closer to whiteness than not. I was completely complicit and didn?t think twice about entering a space that could cover their walls with images of contemporary Indigenous perspectives, but exclude their physical bodies from entering and experiencing. In that moment, I felt like a real Canadian. Before I Was a Critic I Was a Human Being is the debut collection of nonfiction essays by Amy Fung. In it, Fung takes a closer examination at Canada's mythologies of multiculturalism, settler colonialism, and identity through the lens of a national art critic. Following the tangents of a foreign-born perspective and the complexities and complicities in participating in ongoing acts of colonial violence, the book as a whole takes the form of a very long land acknowledgement. Taken individually, each essay roots itself in the learning and unlearning process of a first generation settler immigrant as she unfurls each region's sense of place and identity Praise for Before I Was a Critic I Was a Human Being: ?The hours I've spent with this knowing and moving book about place and placelessness are among the most valuable of my reading life. Wow, thank you, Amy." --Eileen Myles "As an Indigenous/Haudenosaunee writer and reader, I recognize that Amy Fung's book does not try to convince us that she is a native rights ally but shows us with language how to mould the term ally into a verb." --Janet Rogers, author of Totem Poles and Railroads "In this compelling work, Amy Fung breathes life and relevance into criticality. This visitor's guide is integral reading." --Cecily Nicholson, author of Wayside Sang, winner of the Governor General's Literary Award for Poetry.
