The book reveals how the 'social value of art' may have one meaning
for a policy maker, another for a museum and still yet another for
an artist - and it is therefore in the interaction between these
agents that we learn the most about the importance of rhetoric and
interpretation. As a trajectory in art history, socially engaged
art has a long and established history. However, in recent years-or
since 'the social turn' that occurred in the 1990s-the rhetoric
surrounding the social value of art has been assimilated by
cultural policy makers and museums. Interdisciplinary in its
approach, and bringing together contributions from artists,
curators and academics, the volume explores rhetoric, social value
and the arts within different social, political and cultural
contexts.
