" Policy Matters"
Policy Matters examines art production as a particular temporal
and spatial series of social relationships organized, legitimated
and circulated through
administration, funding and publicity. With its lively mix of scholarly essays
and cultural journalism, Policy Matters contributes to domestic and international
understandings of the distinctive address of Canadian arts policy and organized
art. As a historical and theoretical engagement with governance practices,
this volume documents and discusses:
• the self-administrations of the artist-run centre movement;
• key accountability logics of arts funding and cultural policy;
• mediation and representational struggles over how art is “cared
for.”
