Book A Profile of the Performing Arts Industry

Download or read book A Profile of the Performing Arts Industry written by David H. Gaylin and published by Business Expert Press. This book was released on 2015-10-07 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Attending a live concert or theatrical performance can be a thrilling experience. At their best, the performing arts represent the height of human creativity and expression. But the presentation on stage, whether it is Shakespeare, Beethoven, or The Lion King, depends on a business backstage. This book provides an overview of both the product on stage and the industry that makes it possible. While the industry’s product is unique—with unique supply and demand characteristics—it is still an industry, with supply inputs, organization structures, competitors, business models, value chains, and customers. We will examine each of the major segments (Broadway, regional theater, orchestra, opera, and ballet) along these business dimensions. This book will give lovers of the performing arts an understanding of the business realities that make live performances possible. Managers, board members, and performers will be better equipped to take on the strategic challenges their companies face. People contemplating any of these roles will have a better idea of what to expect. Business analysts and students of strategy will discover how economic frameworks apply in this unique setting where culture and commerce converge.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "To explain the logic of these arrangements, the author draws on the analytical resources of industrial economics and the theory of contracts. He addresses the winner-take-all character of many creative activities that brings wealth and renown to some artists while dooming others to frustration; why the "option" form of contract is so prevalent; and why even savvy producers get sucked into making "ten-ton turkeys," such as Heaven's Gate."--BOOK JACKET.

Book The Arts of Industry in the Age of Enlightenment

Download or read book The Arts of Industry in the Age of Enlightenment written by Celina Fox and published by Paul Mellon Centre for Studies. This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 18th century, the arts of industry encompassed both liberal and mechanical realms--not simply the representation of work in the fine art of painting, but the skills involved in the processes of industry itself. Drawing on a wealth of primary sources, Celina Fox argues that mechanics and artisans used four principal means to describe and rationalize their work: drawing, model-making, societies, and publications. These four channels, which form the four central themes of this engrossing book, provided the basis for experimentation and invention, for explanation and classification, for validation and authorization, and for promotion and celebration, thus bringing them into the public domain and achieving progress as a true part of the Enlightenment.

Book Art Versus Industry

    Book Details:
  • Author : Kate Nichols
  • Publisher : Studies in Design Mup
  • Release : 2016
  • ISBN : 9780719096464
  • Pages : 259 pages

Download or read book Art Versus Industry written by Kate Nichols and published by Studies in Design Mup. This book was released on 2016 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Art versus industry? is about the encounters between the visual arts and industry in Britain during the long nineteenth-century. It looks beyond the oppositions that were established between these two spheres by later interpretations of the work of John Ruskin, William Morris and the Arts andCrafts movement, to reveal surprising examples of collaboration - between artists, craftspeople, designers, inventors, curators, engineers and educators - at a crucial period in the formation of the cultural and commercial identity of Britain and its colonies.This lively and richly illustrated collection operates across disciplines to explore such diverse subjects as the production of lace, the mechanical translation of sculpture, the display of stained glass, the use of the kaleidoscope in painting and pattern design, the emergence of domestic electriclighting, the politics of ornament and the development of art and design education and international exhibitions in India. With contributions by leading academics in the fields of art history, museums studies and the history and philosophy of science, its approach is as varied as its contents, oftendrawing on little-used primary sources and offering new perspectives on existing literature.Art versus industry? provides an essential source to both students and academics in the (British) histories of art and design, museum studies, the history and philosophy of science and postcolonial studies. It will also appeal to the general reader interested in the industrial and visual cultures ofthe Victorian period.

Book The Craft of Art

  • Author : Georgia Museum of Art
  • Publisher : University of Georgia Press
  • Release : 1995
  • ISBN : 9780820316482
  • Pages : 262 pages

Download or read book The Craft of Art written by Georgia Museum of Art and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this collection of nine essays some of the preeminent art historians in the United States consider the relationship between art and craft, between the creative idea and its realization, in Renaissance and Baroque Italy. The essays, all previously unpublished, are devoted to the pictorial arts and are accompanied by nearly 150 illustrations. Examining works by such artists as Michelangelo, Titian, Volterrano, Giovanni di Paolo, and Annibale Carracci (along with aspects of the artists' creative processes, work habits, and aesthetic convictions), the essayists explore the ways in which art was conceived and produced at a time when collaboration with pupils, assistants, or independent masters was an accepted part of the artistic process. The consensus of the contributors amounts to a revision, or at least a qualification, of Bernard Berenson's interpretation of the emergent Renaissance ideal of individual "genius" as a measure of original artistic achievement: we must accord greater influence to the collaborative, appropriative conventions and practices of the craft workshop, which persisted into and beyond the Renaissance from its origins in the Middle Ages. Consequently, we must acknowledge the sometimes rather ordinary beginnings of some of the world's great works of art--an admission, say the contributors, that will open new avenues of study and enhance our understanding of the complex connections between invention and execution. With one exception, these essays were delivered as lectures in conjunction with the exhibition The Artists and Artisans of Florence: Works from the Horne Museum hosted by the Georgia Museum of Art in the fall of 1992.

Book The Creative Industries

Download or read book The Creative Industries written by Terry Flew and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2011-11-15 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Moving from age-old warnings about the influence of the cultural industry to a tentative embrace of a global creative society, Terry Flew′s new book provides an excellent overview of this exciting field. Warmly recommended for students and policymakers alike." - Mark Deuze, Indiana University "A comprehensive text on the state of the art of the creative industries... a running commentary on the ebb and flow of both the academic debates (from cultural studies, cultural economics, organisational studies, economic geography and urban sociology) and the policy initiatives that seek to frame the field for outsiders. An ideal primer." - Andy C Pratt, King′s College London The rise of creative industries requires new thinking in communication, media and cultural studies, media and cultural policy, and the arts and information sectors. The Creative Industries sets the agenda for these debates, providing a richer understanding of the dynamics of cultural markets, creative labour, finance and risk, and how culture is distributed, marketed and creatively re-used through new media technologies. This book: Develops a global perspective on the creative industries and creative economy Draws insights from media and cultural studies, innovation economics, cultural policy studies, and economic and cultural geography Explores what it means for policy-makers when culture and creativity move from the margins to the centre of economic dynamics Makes extensive use of case studies in ways that are relevant not only to researchers and policy-makers, but also to the generation of students who will increasingly be establishing a ′portfolio career′ in the creative industries. International in coverage, The Creative Industries traces the historical and contemporary ideas that make the cultural economy more relevant that it has ever been. It is essential reading for students and academics in media, communication and cultural studies.

Book Synthetic Worlds

    Book Details:
  • Author : Esther Leslie
  • Publisher : Reaktion Books
  • Release : 2006-01-16
  • ISBN : 1861895542
  • Pages : 280 pages

Download or read book Synthetic Worlds written by Esther Leslie and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2006-01-16 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This revealing study considers the remarkable alliance between chemistry and art from the late eighteenth century to the period immediately following the Second World War. Synthetic Worlds offers fascinating new insights into the place of the material object and the significance of the natural, the organic, and the inorganic in Western aesthetics. Esther Leslie considers how radical innovations in chemistry confounded earlier alchemical and Romantic philosophies of science and nature while profoundly influencing the theories that developed in their wake. She also explores how advances in chemical engineering provided visual artists with new colors, surfaces, coatings, and textures, thus dramatically recasting the way painters approached their work. Ranging from Goethe to Hegel, Blake to the Bauhaus, Synthetic Worlds ultimately considers the astonishing affinities between chemistry and aesthetics more generally. As in science, progress in the arts is always assured, because the impulse to discover is as immutable and timeless as the drive to create.
