1998rif. 164848Cambridge 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.

Illustrated wraps. 207 pages : illustrations chiefly color facsimiles maps ; 30 cm. French text. "Festivals are a manifestation of joy and a moment of sociability aimed at creating and maintaining a sense of belonging. In the 16th and 17th centuries the Southern Netherlands suffered the ravages of the Eighty Years' War 1568-1648. Festivals then became an essential outlet breaking the monotony of laborious activity but also helping people to endure the onslaught of calamities. Seeking to move beyond the idea that Flemish fairs and festivals were one and the same this catalogue emphasizes the diversity of celebrations of the period. The work brings together contributions from leading specialists and demonstrates a broad vision of festivals: Jesuit festivals military triumphs shooting competitions celebrations of restored peace domestic festivities. Their variety results in a cross-section of the society of the time highlighting the prominent social and political role of public celebrations in regulating them. Called upon to immortalize these festivals or even to stage them artists have." left behind tapestries paintings medals watercolors prints. and giant heads!
