Summary: A large format and graphically bold publication that goes to the very heart of contemporary debate about the responsibility and function of the arts and of artists in society today. This book explores the subject in a variety of ways, ranging between political, philosophical and analytical texts, fiction, verse and images. Some of the central questions asked include: • What are the basic principles of state patronage of the arts? • What are the tensions between politicians and artists, between public sector cultural practice and between modern democracy and high culture? • Contemporary art practice is usually regarded as a way of pushing boundaries, breaking rules, taking risks, and sometimes, (necessarily) making mistakes. How does this square with the notion of contemporary art as having a social, community and educational role? • Is art good for you? • Should art be for everyone even for those who don't want it?
