Contemporary art has a complex relationship to crisis. On the one
hand, art can draw us toward apocalypse: it charts unfolding chaos,
reflects and amplifies the effects of crisis, shows us the
dystopian in both our daily life and in our imagined futures. On
the other hand, art's complexity helps fathom the uncertainty of
the world, question and challenge the order of things, and allows
us to imagine new ways of living and being - to make new worlds.
This collection of written and visual essays includes artistic
responses to various crises - including the climate emergency,
global and local inequalities and the COVID-19 pandemic - and
suggests new forms of collectivity and collaboration within
artistic practice. It surveys a wide variety of practices, oriented
from the perspective of Australia, New Zealand and Asia. Art making
has always responded to the world; the essays in this collection
explore how artists are adapting to a world in crisis. The
contributions to this book are arranged in four sections: artistic
responses; critical reflections, new curatorial approaches and the
art school reimagined. Alongside the written chapters, three
photographic essays provide specific examples of new visual forms
in artistic practice under crisis conditions. The primary market
for the book will be scholars and upper-level students of art and
curating at both undergraduate and postgraduate level.
Specifically, the book will appeal to the burgeoning field of study
around socially engaged art. Beyond the academic and student
market, it will appeal to practicing artists and curators,
especially those engaged in social practice and community-based
art.
