Learning Mind - Experience into Art (Hardcover, New)

How is art conceived, created, and experienced? How is it taught? How does the act of viewing a work make the viewer part of that work? "Learning Mind: Experience Into Art" addresses these questions as it documents the changing practices in the making, teaching, and exhibition of art. Timely, multifaceted, and instructive, this groundbreaking volume explores the contemporary art experience and its expanding presence in society through lively essays, revealing interviews, and provocative conversations with some of the most influential artists and educators of our time. Featured artists include Magdalena Abakanowicz, Ann Hamilton, Alfredo Jaar, Kerry James Marshall, and Ernesto Pujol, along with designers Walter Hood and Bruce Mau. Contributing authors include curators Marcia Tucker and Christopher Bedford, art critics Michael Brenson and Jerry Saltz, art historian David Getsy, educators Ronald Jones and Lawrence Rinder, philosopher Arthur Danto, psychiatrist Mark Epstein, theorist W.J.T. Mitchell, and chef-educator Alice Waters. In demonstrating the role that art schools and universities play in the creative process, "Learning Mind" offers students, teachers, and readers new and vital theoretical texts as well as practical strategies for integrating art into our daily lives. It is co-published by School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
