Finkelpearl, Tom: What We Made
In What We Made, Tom Finkelpearl examines the activist, participatory, coauthored aesthetic experiences being created in contemporary art. In a series of fifteen conversations, artists comment on their experiences working cooperatively, joined at times by colleagues from related fields, including social policy, architecture, art history, urban planning, and new media. He suggests social cooperation as a meaningful way to think about this work and provides a framework for understanding its emergence and acceptance.
Finkelpearl engages the art historians Grant Kester and Claire Bishop Issues discussed include the experiences of working in public and of working with museums and libraries, opportunities for social change, the lines between education and art, spirituality, collaborative opportunities made available by new media, and the elusive criteria for evaluating cooperative art.
