Book excerpt: "So, in a sense, the artist stands as a minister in minor orders, and so his life and acts take hold of that sacramentalism that is the foundation of both the Church and the world; if he plays his part honestly and as one charged with duties and privileges, he may see the art to which he is sworn become once more, not only a great recorder of true civilization, but the surety of its eventual restoration." These are the closing words of Mr. Cram's preface to the collection of papers and addresses he has published under the title of the last essay, "The Ministry of Art," read before the American Church Congress, at Troy, New York. The others in their order are, "Art the Revealer," an address at the inauguration of Rice Institute, Texas; "The Philosophy of the Gothic Restoration," read before the Contemporary Club, Philadelphia; "The Place of the Fine Arts in Public Education," and "The Artist and The World," delivered at Commencement, Yale University School of Fine Arts; "The Craftsman and the Architect," an address at a convention of the American Federation of Arts; and "American University Architecture," read before the Royal Institute of British Architects. The titles of these papers, with their occasions, have a curious interest; for, had they been written for a series of Church Congresses, they could hardly have had a more sacerdotal tone; in almost all Mr. Cram appears as the "minister in minor orders" of his preface; safely in the pulpit he delivers himself, in that fluent English of which he is a master, of a number of fine things, and is also led into grievous error by that fatal gift. "Art," saith the preacher, "is a mystery." And this phrase evokes a vision of the pale votaries, the smug priesthood of a monachal cult, remote, withdrawn from the joyous world of red blood and the sunshine that makes the clustered tapers burn with a rather sickly cast; and then-faint and far one hears the bull laugh of the burly abbot riding forth, perchance in his mail, to oversee the church he is building. Whatever else the men who built the fanes of the Middle Ages may have been, they were men and good builders first. And we may refuse to believe that to them art began with an upper-case letter or was a "mystery." To them, we may firmly believe, art was a good job well done, with plenty of sound ale at the day's end. -Journal of the American Institute of Architects, Volume 2 [1914]

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Artangel Trust has been credited with providing artists with all the money and logistics they need to create one-off dream projects. An independent art commissioning agency based in London, it has operated since 1985 and is responsible for producing some of the most striking ephemeral and site-specific artworks of the last decades, from Rachel Whiteread’s House to Jeremy Deller’s The Battle of Orgreave. Artangel’s existence spans three decades, which now form a coherent whole in terms of both art historical and political periodisation. It was launched as a reaction to the cuts in funding for the visual arts introduced by the Thatcher government in 1979 and has since adapted in a distinctive way to changing cultural policies. Its mixed economic model, the recourse to public, private and corporate funds, is the result of the more general hybridisation of funding encouraged by successive governments since the 1980s and offers a contemporary case study on broader questions concerning the specificities of British art patronage. This book aims to demonstrate that the singular way its directors have responded to the vagaries of public funding and harnessed new national attitudes to philanthropy has created a sustainable independent model, but also that it has been reflected more formally, in their approach to site. The locational art produced by the agency has indeed mirrored new distinctions between public and private spaces, it has reflected the social and economic changes the country has gone through and accompanied the new cultural geographies shaping London and the United Kingdom. Looking into whether their funding model might have had a formal incidence on the art they helped produce and on its relation to notions of publicness and privacy, the study of Artangel gives a fresh insight into new trends in British site-specific art.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Redemptive Theology of Art develops a biblical, systematic, and practical theology of aesthetics. It begins with the roots and ontology of aesthetics (vs. "art") and the architecture and narrative of affection and passion, their woes and their glory. Those who would search the Bible find little support for "art" as commonly conceived in the West. The language of aesthetics, applied to the maker’s intentions, the qualities of the work, and the responses of the audience, better addresses the questions of beauty, and better suits the discussion of human actions, beliefs, and culture than the language of art does. The Bible yields more consistent and helpful answers to questions about the broader category of aesthetics than it does to questions about art; leading in turn to better questions and a more practical and theological appreciation of human affections, beauty, and delight, and the many paths by which people, including Christians, pursue them. Using the categories and definitions from Scripture, Covington gives hope and help not only for those who labor in the arts, but for everyone who cares about the passions that motivate us. We were made for God's delight, and, though sin and bondage plague our passions, God can shape our fun, feelings, desires, affections and aversions. Feelings are neither objective nor subjective; they are redeemable. Borrowing key ideas from other Christian writers on the arts or aesthetics, Covington explores the connection between orthodox Protestant theology and a responsible, respectful treatment of arts, artists, and all aesthetic fields of human work and speech.
Download or read book The Arts as a Weapon of War written by Jorn Weingartner and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2012-06-08 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1834, Lord Melbourne spoke the words that epitomised the British government's attitude towards its own involvement in the arts: 'God help the minister that meddles with Art'. However, with the outbreak of World War II, that attitude changed dramatically when 'cultural policy' became a key element of the domestic front. Not only a propaganda tool, it aimed to boost morale and prevent a wartime cultural blackout. "The Arts as a Weapon of War" traces the evolution of this policy from the creation of the Committee for the Encouragement of Music and the Arts, in 1939, to the drafting of the Arts Council's constitution in 1945. From the improvement of the National Gallery to Myra Hess' legendary concerts during the blitz, Jorn Weingartner provides a fascinating account of the powerful policy shift that laid the foundations for the modern relationship between government and the arts.

Download or read book Policy and the Popular written by David Looseley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-11 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is an interdisciplinary exploration of the complexities of ‘popular’ culture as a category of public policy. It approaches the notions of ‘cultural policy’ and ‘popular culture’ flexibly, examining what each comes to mean, explicitly or implicitly, in relation to the other. This generates a rich variety of approaches, but also a number of identifiable commonalities. We start from the proposition that 'popular culture' is largely absent as an explicit category of arts policy and debate today. The ‘arts’ are still, in practice, construed in terms of elite culture (despite claims to the contrary), while artefacts such as popular music, television, fashion, and so on are assumed to figure among the cultural or creative ‘industries’, giving the popular a set of narrowly economic, professional and commodity connotations. And yet, the popular is, in a range of ways, powerfully present as an implicit dimension of public policy and as a catalyst of cultural practices and attitudes. This apparent paradox underpins the proposal. The book is a collaboration between two UK-based institutions: the University of Leeds’s Popular Cultures Research Network and the well established Centre for Cultural Policy Studies at the University of Warwick. This book was originally published as a special issue of International Journal of Cultural Policy.
