關心社會的藝術家離開了工作室及藝術館的四面白牆,用各種創意形式,回應他們關注的實況。《當藝術走向社會》收錄了從十九世紀至當代、世界各處及本地的案例,簡介社會參與式藝術。希望能擴闊讀者對藝術的理解,也請大家一起想像每一個人可以怎樣運用創意,塑造我們的社會。Departing from the secluded studio and art institutions, socially conscious artists have embarked on a range of creative responses to social situations. When Art Goes Social is an introduction to socially engaged art, with international and local examples from the 19th century through the contemporary time. We hope it can offer an expanded view of art, and inspire thoughts about everyone’s creative potential to reshape our society.
