{"product_id":"art-as-enterprise-grace-mcquilten-9781350437579","title":"Art as Enterprise: Social and Economic Engagement in Contemporary Art","description":"Art is produced, circulated, consumed and disseminated within an economic system - it depends on money for its creation, for the livelihood of its makers, and for its distribution. In this sense, art can be understood as an enterprising activity. However, profit-making is rarely the primary goal of artists, and indeed the entanglement of art with enterprise generates significant aesthetic, conceptual, philosophical and ethical challenges for contemporary art practice. Social enterprise has emerged from this complex terrain with the promise of an alternative model of economic organisation in the arts. Grace McQuilten and Anthony White argue that artists can, and have, engaged critically in the commercial market, by way of this model. Art as Enterprise brings a fresh perspective to the debate about the roles of contemporary art in consumer capitalist society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Grace McQuilten, Anthony White\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350437573\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350437579\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Visual Arts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/22\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.52d","brand":"Grace McQuilten","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46140874424575,"sku":"9781350437579","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_aca3f7f9-2c92-45f1-9243-76f0f9973354.jpg?v=1726597282","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/art-as-enterprise-grace-mcquilten-9781350437579","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
