"Artists, Patrons, and the Public: Why Culture Changes" by Barry Lord and Gail Dexter Lord

Cover of Artists, Patrons, and the Public: Why Culture Changes by Barry Lord and Gail Dexter Lord

 

In their new book, Barry and Gail Lord focus their two lifetimes of international experience working in the cultural sector on the challenging questions of why and how culture changes. They situate their discourse on aesthetic culture within a broad and inclusive definition of culture in relation to material, physical and socio-political cultures.

This book is intended for artists, students, and teachers of art history, museum studies, cultural studies, and philosophy, and for cultural workers in all media and disciplines. It is above all intended for those who think of themselves first as audience because we are all participants in cultural change.

"The Manual of Museum Learning offers insights and concrete suggestions based on current realities. The contributors provide perspectives of well-respected practitioners who offer both a solid basis for current practice, and support for new ideas to implement in the future. The high level of discourse delivers a manual that should be shared across the museum, not read only by those involved in programming or education."
