Engagement With Art Versus Arts Institutions
"The theory has long been that more exposure to art created more people interested in art. If that's true, than we're in a budding Golden Age. But if more and more activity is happening outside of our institutions (arts, education etc), then what does that mean for the institutions?" Join This week's ArtsJournal discussion Lead or Follow.

visual London's National Gallery Assistants Stage Work Actions "Used to standing quietly in the shadows while the spotlight shines on a Leonardo or Caravaggio or Velázquez, the National Gallery's warders - or assistants, as they are known these days - do not tend to draw attention to themselves. But, at the moment, that is exactly what they are doing. Last week's two-hour stoppage, which saw between 30 and 40 assistants walk off the job, forced the temporary closure of around 35 rooms, though not the blockbuster Leonardo exhibition."

publishing Why Book Festivals Are Important "The great juggle for a festival organiser is not so much personal safety versus freedom of speech. It's: What is your relationship with any government, because the act of writing is essentially dissident. That's what distinguishes literature, and the public act of a literary festival, from buying a Guggenheim museum or a symphony orchestra: it's not just something rich people do. It's a place for extending the conversation, and you have to subscribe to the idea that people can contradict you." The Telegraph (UK) 01/27/12
