Abstract (en)

Calls for a revision of the modernist notion that art and society are at odds with each other (the "dominator model"), and calls for a "partnership model" in which art and audience form an interdependent unit. Discusses Richard Serra's sculpture Tilted Arc, Federal Plaza, New York City, as an example of the former, and Mierle Laderman Ukeles's art works involving the New York City Department of Sanitation as an example of the latter.
