Who Runs the Artworld: Money, Power and Ethics examines the
economics and mythologies of today's global artworld. It unmasks
the complex web of relationships that now exist among high-profile
curators, collectors, museum trustees and corporate sponsors, and
the historic and ongoing complicity between the art and money
markets. The book examines alternative models being deployed by
curators and artists influenced by the 2008 global financial crisis
and the international socio-political Occupy movement, with a
particular focus on a renewed activism by artists. This activism is
coupled with an institutional and social critique led by groups
such as Liberate Tate, the Precarious Workers Brigade and Strike
Debt. Who Runs the Artworld: Money, Power and Ethics brings
together a diverse range of thinkers who draw on the disciplines of
art theory, social sciences and cultural economics, and curatorship
and the lived experience of artists. The contributors to this book
are, in their respective contexts, working at the forefront of
these compelling issues.
Are artists, designers and musicians inventors? Or does the
invention originate from scientific discovery alone? Ecologies of
Invention is the first collection of essays that brings together
writers and scholars of international standing from the University
of Sydney and beyond to examine assumptions underlying notions of
inventiveness. The writers explain how inventiveness borne out of
aesthetic ambitions is impacting on and changing our culture and
society. Ecologies of Invention describes the articulation of
inventive capacities across disciplines and across multiple scales,
from personal capacities to the social, spatial and network
configurations that drive people to produce inventions. The book
poses new questions for scholars, artists, architects, designers,
historians, engineers, scientists, lawyers and economists about the
nature, origins and processes of invention. "This is a challenging
book which confronts traditional thinking around creativity and
inventiveness, and raises issues that need serious debate." --
