Exploring key issues for the anthropology of art and art theory,
this fascinating text provides the first in-depth study of
community art from an anthropological perspective.The book focuses
on the forty year history of Free Form Arts Trust, an arts group
that played a major part in the 1970s struggle to carve out a space
for community arts in Britain. Turning their back on the world of
gallery art, the fine-artist founders of Free Form were determined
to use their visual expertise to connect, through collaborative art
projects, with the working-class people excluded by the established
art world. In seeking to give the residents of poor communities a
greater role in shaping their built environment, the artists'
aesthetic practice would be transformed."Community Art" examines
this process of aesthetic transformation and its rejection of the
individualized practice of the gallery artist. The Free Form story
calls into question common understandings of the categories of
"art," "expertise," and "community," and makes this story relevant
beyond late twentieth-century and early twenty-first-century
Britain.
