[csaa-forum] ‘Thinking about Art, at Art School’: Pierre Bourdieu in discussion with fine art students: occasional CCCR publication

[Scott.Brook]

Dear all,

The Centre for Creative and Cultural Research (CCCR) is pleased to publish ‘Thinking about Art, at Art School’ by Pierre Bourdieu (trans. Michael Grenfell).

In this talk, recorded in 1999 at the École supérieure des beaux-arts in Nimes, Bourdieu responds to a number of questions from fine arts students, such as ‘How does one become an artist?’ and ‘Can the artist have a political role?’, as well as outlines the value of Cultural Field theory for understanding contemporary artistic practice.

“Sociology can be one of the most effective weapons to understand and defend art; not just art that already exists, as canonized within museums, but art that makes itself the most surprising artistic research, the most audacious, the most critical, the most free.” P. Bourdieu, ‘Thinking about Art, at Art School’.

This limited edition translation was made by Michael Grenfell for use in a CCCR masterclass and is published and sold on a cost-recovery basis. It is distributed by Recent Work Press (http://recentworkpress.com/store/catalogue/thinking-about-art-at-art-school/).

Best,
Scott
