Do the political interests of artists influence actual political practices in any way? \u003cem\u003eLegislating Creativity\u003c\/em\u003e examines the relationship between art and politics through an analysis of controversial art projects tied to the National Endowment for the Arts during the Culture Wars (late 1980s-1990s). Though there have always been tensions in government funding for the arts, these controversies intensified the public debates surrounding art\/politics and remain as a focal point in conversations that continue today. The book focuses on three case studies: Mapplethorpe's controversial photography, an exhibit on the impact of AIDS entitled \u003cem\u003eWitnesses\u003c\/em\u003e, and the Guerrilla Girls. Dustin Kidd has provided a thoroughly enriching look at the intersections of art and politics--the ways that political practices transform creative expression and the ways that artistic drives shape political policies. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46929931600023,"sku":"9780415871198","price":11277.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780415871198.webp?v=1771603448","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/legislating-creativity-the-intersections-of-art-and-politics-9780415871198","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
