I was asked to take part in Flux Factory’s Death Match: Arts Funding, Follow the $$$$ in January of this year. It was a bit raucous and a laugh, but it got me thinking about a few things. Lucky for me, the National Endowment for the Arts blog editor asked me to write a recap of the event for them, so I had a chance to think through some of what we talked about in the debate. Read it here:
• A Fight to the Death for Arts Funding?
That piece follows up on a series of articles and essays I’ve been writing over at Hyperallergic about the role of the arts in US society. All this writing builds on the research I’m doing for a book that I’m writing about the value of the arts in America.
Here are a couple of the other pieces that I’ve written lately:
• Failure, Success, and Community in Contemporary Performance
• Recovering the History of the Puerto Rican Art Workers’ Coalition
• A Grand Unified Theory of Art?
• The Perplexing Role of Metrics in the Arts
• It Is Broke, We Should Probably Fix It: The Nonprofit Model and the Arts
• Good Intentions and Big Ideas: Feel Good Grants That Exploit Artists and Reduce Arts Funding
