About Policy Matters:
Policy Matters examines art production as a particular temporal and spatial series of social relationships organized, legitimated and circulated through administration, funding and publicity. With its lively mix of scholarly essays and cultural journalism, Policy Matters contributes to domestic and international understandings of the distinctive address of Canadian arts policy and organized art. As a historical and theoretical engagement with governance practices, this volume documents and discusses:
- The self-administrations of the artist-run centre movement
- Key accountability logics of arts funding and cultural policy
- Mediation and representational struggles over how art is “cared for.â€
About the Author:
Over 25 years, Clive Robertson has written critically, from within, about the systems and relationships that constitute artist-run culture in Canada. While others wrote about identity politics, censorship, technology, subjectivity, and art production, Robertson was concerned about gaps in art discourse, surfacing certain issues and perspectives so they could be debated.
