Art as social construction? L’art comme construction sociale ?

Proceedings of the AICA round-table, Manifesta 4, Frankfurt/Main, May 2002

The Proceedings of the debates published in this book express the current questions raised by the visual arts, doubly confronted with the phenomenon of globalisation as well as with the economical and social redistribution, that knows Europe more specifically.
A large majority of the invited speakers coming from Eastern Europe, delivers points of view which are quite logically more critical about the cultural distribution and spreading today.

A bilingual book (English and French) with 64 pages + cover, printed January 2004 by AICA Press with the support of the International Foundation Manifesta/IFM and the European Community - Culture 2000 program.
