The book encompasses seven chapters: \"Institutional Critique(R) and its Discontents\"; \"Aporia (art as politics, the politics of art)\"; \"Everything is Social\"; \"Convoluted Cities\"; \"The (Un)De-definition of Art\"; \"What Do We Want from Exhibitions?\"; and \"On the Curatorial Road.\" The author unpacks art's paradoxical condition: art problematizes, and is intrinsically a problem. From this standpoint, he analyzes art's definitions, functions, ethical entanglements, societal aspirations and cultural contradictions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 446\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.5 x 8.3 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 31, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176018985209,"sku":"9783037641958","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/rLnWRos4Nl9783037641958.webp?v=1767675836","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/art-is-a-problem-selected-criticism-essays-interviews-and-curatorial-projects-1986-2012-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
