In this provocative new book, Pablo Helguera argues that
contemporary art makes us perform self-conscious or instinctive
interpretive acts; and that the construction of value in artworks
is determined less by the objects themselves than by the nature of
our interpretive performances, having a trickle-down effect on
practically every aspect of art in society. Based on many years of
observations, Art Scenes aims to contribute to the neglected area
of the sociology of contemporary art, proposing the inauguration of
a field described as "Art World Studies." Pablo Helguera is a
visual artist living in New York. He is the Director of Adult and
Academic Programs at the Museum of Modern Art, New York. He is the
author of many books including The Pablo Helguera Manual of
Contemporary Art Style, What in the World ( A Museum's Subjective
Biography) and Education for Socially Engaged Art.
