Jody Berland

Shelley Hornstein

Berland (humanities, York U., Canada) and Hornstein (art history, York U.) present 22 contributions that attempt to explore the connections between art and money in a world increasingly dominated by the practices and ideologies of market culture. Consisting of both essays and reproductions of art works, the contributions come from Canadian artists, academics, curators, and critics. Among the topics addressed in the essays are the relationship between nationalism and the value of art, a challenge to the universality of aesthetics, the erosion of artistic and educational freedoms, and cultural policy and funding in Canada.
