Such varied forms of discourse as project descriptions, accounts of artistic development, exchanges between artists, and critiques of art works.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The questions they raise are many: what is art\u2019s function? What does the label \u201cdiversity-artist\u201d mean for the artist concerned? Can socially engaged art have undesirable effects, or ones that even negate the artist\u2019s intentions? How can art resist the logic of return value? Are manoeuvres immune to assimilation by the cultural industry? Can they counteract the various infringements on our freedom? How can the material object become a pretext to create connections? How are these connections and this object transformed by the social and political context?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">These texts allow us to revisit works that offer a new perspective on familiar terrain, infusing them with an element that shifts our usual perception.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Publication<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>DE L\u2019ART ENGAG\u00c9 AU QU\u00c9BEC :&nbsp;<br \/>\n\u00c9THIQUE ET ESTH\u00c9TIQUE DE L\u2019UTILE \/<br \/>\nOF SOCIALLY ENGAGED ART IN QU\u00c9BEC:<br \/>\nETHICS AND AESTHETICS OF THE USEFUL<\/p>\n<p><strong>Year of publication<\/strong>: 2023<\/p>\n<p><strong>Editors<\/strong>: Skol\/Sagamie<\/p>\n<p><strong>ISBN<\/strong>: 978-2-923612-78-2<\/p>\n<p><strong>Price<\/strong>: $40<\/p>\n<p><strong>Technical Specifications<\/strong>: 20.32 cm x 25.4 cm<br \/>\n218 pages, color, German binding, available in French and English<\/p>\n<p><strong>Type<\/strong>: Monograph<\/p>\n<p><strong>Authors<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>St\u00e9phanie Bertrand, Alain Deneault, Maggy Flynn, Romeo&nbsp;Gongora,<br \/>\nF\u00e9lipe Goulet Letarte, \u00c8ve Lamoureux, Alain-Martin Richard,<br \/>\nSonia Robertson, Tamar Tembeck, Kathleen Vaughan<\/p>\n<p><strong>Artistes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sylvie Cotton, Yvonne Dr\u00f6ge Wendel et Lino Hellings,<br \/>\nMaggy Flynn, Romeo Gongora, Catherine Lalonde Massecar et \u00c9rick&nbsp;d\u2019Orion,<br \/>\nChris Lloyd, Yann Pocreau, Alain-Martin Richard, Kathleen Vaughan<br \/>\nand 81 participants, Kim Waldron<\/p>\n<p><strong>Publication Committee<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Renata Azevedo Modera, St\u00e9phanie Bertrand, Maggy Flynn, St\u00e9phanie Gilot,<br \/>\nF\u00e9lipe Goulet Letarte<\/p>\n<p><strong>Literary Committee<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>F\u00e9lipe Goulet Letarte, Denis Rioux<\/p>\n<p><strong>Graphic Design&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mathilde Martel-Coutu<\/p>\n<p><strong>Key Features of the Publication<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Collective work bringing together multiple authors and artists<br \/>\nCurrent inquiries into socially engaged art in Quebec<br \/>\nDiverse discussions on artistic practice and its perspectives<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Collective work bringing together multiple authors and artists<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":23220,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21520","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-publications"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.4 -
