Art School: (Propositions for the 21st Century) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Some books should be required reading before attending college. This is one of them. The problems of the artworld are very real, and very dangerous. A vast amount of money is wasted each year by students who think they need to attend an art college, only to find the fire sucked out of them. Became a trained professional in a non-professional field.
The real beauty of this book, so far, is that it discerts how the art world actually functions; not refering by way to financial power, but of the history chase and denial. It explains how, probably mostly because of Duchamp, there is a constant struggle with mentor, how this pushes art forward, and how the predators with money prey upon the artists, who by the way are not innocent. In essay form, this book will make you look differently at art education in general and the art world as a whole. I just started reading it, but know it will be an important manuscript that may push forward a change in art education on all levels.
If you like thick, meaningful discussion that requires educated thought, buy this.
