Abstract (en)

Paper presented at Mountain Lake Symposium IX in Pittsburgh (18-20 Nov 1988). Examines causes of the current crisis of art in the West, including the fracturing of culture, the breakdown of community, and the institutionalization of art. Cites the need to question the very nature of what it means to be an artist and what the value of art itself is or can be in current society. Notes a few contemporary artists who have reinvested art with a purpose within the larger psycho-social community, including Joseph Beuys, Tim Rollins and Willie Anne Wright.
