art and entertainment

2011

With their spectacular presentations, intereactive exhibits, and children’s activities, today’s contemporary-art museums imply a new cultural economy for art.  Similarly, with the academy, there is a new insistence on seeing art as part of a wider spectrum of ‘visual culture’ or ‘creative industries’.  What is the relationship between art and entertainment today?  Are simply antithetical? And are we heded into a new ‘post-critical’ situation? Plus reviews. Jointly published with the Institute of Modern Art, Brisbane. $20.
