Public

Abstract

The introduction states that the theme for this issue of Public, "experimentalism," was intended to generate debate about the relationship between contemporary art and politics. The contents, 17 essays and four artists projects, are based on the proceedings from a conference and screening at Queen’s University: “Blowing the Trumpets to the Tulips.” Kibbins wishes to reinvest experimentalism with new meaning, since it lost its direction with the end of progressive Modernism. Includes conference program. Biographical notes. 227 bibl. ref
