What role do the visual arts and museums play in our society--and
what role might they play? "This Is the Flow" compiles a series of
essays on a diverse range of subjects, such as the difference
between nightclubs and museums, the nearly moot distinction between
high and low culture and the question of whether art can express
global contemporary values. This volume posits the theory that
museums must reestablish their legitimacy and engage in a more
explicit relationship with society; it engages provocative ideas
about the current artistic climate while introducing new
possibilities concerning the place of the museum in contemporary
society. The essays in this volume are penned by a diverse
selection of notable cultural producers, including Rotterdam
International Film Festival Director Rutger Wolfson, critic Cornel
Bierens, filmmaker and curator Edwin Carels and critic Chris Darke.
