A New Deal': art, museums and communities re-imagining relations
‘A New Deal’ argues that engaged or participatory art practice can be shown to be central rather than marginal to the meaning and value of art in the ‘story’ of human society, but only if we take a long view and change the position from which we read and understand received history. It also argues that new models of art and institutional practice are needed in the present, which foreground and validate participation, engagement and commonality – the reconnection of artist and community within social space. These new models are needed if we are to generate the new art forms that emancipate rather than disempower the citizen and which are not defined by the cul de sac of commodity and consumerism.
