Do the political interests of artists influence actual political practices in any way? \u003cem\u003eLegislating Creativity\u003c\/em\u003e examines the relationship between art and politics through an analysis of controversial art projects tied to the National Endowment for the Arts during the Culture Wars (late 1980s-1990s). Though there have always been tensions in government funding for the arts, these controversies intensified the public debates surrounding art\/politics and remain as a focal point in conversations that continue today. The book focuses on three case studies: Mapplethorpe's controversial photography, an exhibit on the impact of AIDS entitled \u003cem\u003eWitnesses\u003c\/em\u003e, and the Guerrilla Girls. Dustin Kidd has provided a thoroughly enriching look at the intersections of art and politics—the ways that political practices transform creative expression and the ways that artistic drives shape political policies. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54233943867736,"sku":"9780415871198","price":198.4,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415871198.jpg?v=1779169556","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/legislating-creativity","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
