Art and…
General Editor: Chris Townsend
The first premise of the Art and… series is that art matters. By this I mean that
art is not a futile game played by a few cognoscenti in a vacuum. Rather our
assumption in selecting titles for the series is that contemporary art is crucial
to our understanding of, and relationship to, the world in which we live. Often
the first response to art, especially in the popular press, is to stress its seeming
frivolity, its surface shock, rather than trying to draw out the deeper issues at
stake within it. Yet art still has the capacity to challenge and to change us.
Without pasting up slogans, artists have important things to say about the
conditions of our times and, directly or indirectly, they have chosen to take
on some of the biggest issues in the world today. In producing this series
we have deliberately aligned ‘art’ and those perennial issues such as death
and sex which trouble generation after generation. And we have deliberately
sought out particular contemporary issues: scientific advances, advertising
and celebrity. Books published in the Art and… series will be accessible, but
intelligent. Serious and often difficult art need not equate to difficult writing
– rather it demands clarity, and this is the second premise of the series. Above
all Art and… aims to connect art back to the world.
