Where and who do we want to be? How might we get there? What might
happen if we stay on our current course? In The Future of Serious
Art, Bidisha uses her personal journey through novels, TV and film
to mirror the seismic changes that have occurred in culture and its
industries in recent years. The digital revolution has brought all
of TV, cinema and music into the palms of our hands. It's easier
than ever to bring stories to life, but what happens when artistic
work is rebranded as 'content creation'? Where does this leave
literary novelists and arthouse filmmakers? What about those
auteur-directors who make mainstream but thoughtful films for the
big screen? As a storyteller herself, and a woman of colour who
isn't a millennial, Bidisha asks who is taken seriously as an
artist, what is taken seriously as art now and how that might
change over the next century. This brief but mighty book is one of
five that comprise the first set of FUTURES essays. Each standalone
book presents the author's original vision of a singular aspect of
the future which inspires in them hope or reticence, optimism or
fear. Read individually, these essays will inform, entertain and
challenge. Together, they form a picture of what might lie ahead,
and ask the reader to imagine how we might make the transition from
here to there, from now to then.

The Routledge Companion to Applied Performance provides an
in-depth, far-reaching and provocative consideration of how
scholars and artists negotiate the theoretical, historical and
practical politics of applied performance, both in the academy and
beyond. These volumes offer insights from within and beyond the
sphere of English-speaking scholarship, curated by regional experts
in applied performance. The reader will gain an understanding of
some of the dominant preoccupations of performance in specified
regions, enhanced by contextual framing. From the dis(h)arming of
the human body through dance in Colombia to clowning with dementia
in Australia, via challenges to violent nationalism in the Balkans,
transgender performance in Pakistan and resistance rap in Kashmir,
the essays, interviews and scripts are eloquent testimony to the
courage and hope of people who believe in the power of art to renew
the human spirit. Students, academics, practitioners,
policy-makers, cultural anthropologists and activists will benefit
from the opportunities to forge new networks and develop in-depth
comparative research offered by this bold, global project.
'A remarkable set of essays unlike anything else' - Kadish Morris,
Guardian As in her fiction, the essays in Out of the Sun
demonstrate Esi Edugyan's commitment to seeking out the stories of
Black lives that history has failed to record. Written with the
death of George Floyd and the rise of the Black Lives Matter
movement in the background, in five wide-ranging essays Edugyan
reflects on her own identity and experiences as the daughter of
Ghanaian immigrants. She delves into the history of Western Art and
the truths about Black lives that it fails to reveal, and the ways
contemporary Black artists are reclaiming and reimagining those
lives. She explores and celebrates the legacy of Afrofuturism, the
complex and problematic practice of racial passing, the place of
ghosts and haunting in the imagination, and the fascinating
relationship between Africa and Asia dating back to the 6th
Century. With calm, piercing intelligence, and a refusal to think
on anyone's terms but her own, Edugyan asks difficult questions
about how we reckon with the past and imagine the future, and
invites the reader to think alongside her in working out what the
answers to these may be.
Astra Magazine is a brand new international literary magazine, an
emerging must-read for anyone interested in the best new literature
from around the world. Astra Magazine connects readers and writers
from around the world - New York to Mexico City, Lagos to Berlin,
Copenhagen to Singapore and beyond. We want to bring about a new,
borderless, and vital mode of reading. Astra is a magazine for our
new moment, bringing us together while, the world over, we create
new language for ourselves. Issue Number 2: Filth is dedicated to
the dirty and the lowly, to the beautiful as well as the abject.
Filth is a term that encompasses everything from actual trash to
cultural garbage, the foetid, the foul and the pestilent and ranges
into obscenity, smut and shame. This issue will explore the
splendor in squalor and the pleasure in pain. Featuring thrilling
and original new fiction, poetry, essays, art, and comics from
writers and arists around the world.
This pioneering book explores the connections between art and
artistic processes and entrepreneurship. The authors expertly
identify several areas and issues where research on art and
artistic processes can inform and develop the traditional field of
entrepreneurship research. Nine original chapters by an
international group of scholars take a detailed look at the sources
of new art ideas, how they are transformed into tangible objects of
art, make their way through often hostile selection environments,
and ultimately go on to become valued and accepted by the general
public. Making a number of original contributions at the crossroads
of art and entrepreneurship, the book speaks to researchers across
these fields, practicing artists interested in promoting and
gaining acceptance for their work, as well as policymakers
concerned with sustained dynamics of the art arena.
Entrepreneurship researchers interested in new developments in the
field will find this unique book invigorating. It also serves as an
invaluable source of inspiration for academics and practitioners
interested in social and cultural entrepreneurship. Contributors:
D. Barry, M. Bonnafous-Boucher, R. Cuir, P. Frankelius, S.

The fact that picture dealing is in the author's genetic make-up
becomes apparent very early in this delightful book. Peter Johnson
records 50 years of the international art market and his part in
some of the most interesting deals of his generation. Through the
doors of Peter's London gallery walked (and subsequently onto the
pages of Heart in Art) any number of royalty, dukes, prime
ministers, auctioneers, international businessmen, sculptors,
European nobility, academics, contemporary artists, and even the
wife of a U.S. president--some were buyers, some sellers, and
others just popped into his office. Each has a part in Peter's
story and each enlivens this book. It is also about the author's
life in general and his wide-ranging interests--including
architecture, flying, gardens, horses, and music--with many
entertaining anecdotes.

In South Africa, with its highly contested and changing understandings of national identity, its National Gallery is no less a contested space. A History of the Iziko South African National Gallery considers questions of artistic and cultural identity, from the late 19th century to the present day.
It explores how the gallery has understood its function and its public, as a 'national' gallery from 1930 and, before that, the chief gallery of the Cape Colony. This question is investigated through a study of the gallery's administration, collection and exhibition practices over the last 150 years. What is understood by and expected of a national gallery varies considerably worldwide. Should it regard itself as part of a broad international cultural discourse, or should it be representative of a specifically national - or even regional - identity?
The gallery is a microcosm of the greater debate: how the South African nation relates to the larger world and how, if at all, it understands the concept of a shared culture. In the last 20 years, Museum Studies have become a major part of the field of Cultural Studies. There is a vast literature on what might be called the 'history' museum, but far less on the art museum or gallery. To date, there has been no
large-scale historical inquiry into the Iziko SANG, the country's national gallery.
The absence of such a history marks a serious gap in the literature, which this study aims to fill.
William Morris is perhaps best known today for the beautiful
textile designs he created under the banner of Morris & Co,
which continue to decorate homes around the globe. As one of the
leading lights of British socialism, however, he is less well
known, and this series of Morris's Manifestos seeks to highlight
his extraordinary contribution to the literary canon on subjects
socialist and artistic. Based on a lecture given at the Manchester
Royal Institution in 1883, Art, Wealth and Riches is a
thought-provoking essay that considers art as having educative and
aesthetic value that should be shared with the many, rather than
financial value that should be hoarded by the few. Morris asks: 'Is
art to be limited to a narrow class who only care for it in a very
languid way, or is it to be the solace and pleasure of the whole
people?'

There have been major advances in therapeutic photography since
Del's first book in 2013, and the recent lockdowns have accelerated
the field further.
