Art for change?
It is often taken for granted that art functions as a tool and a vehicle of social change;
indeed, it was just this theme that we took up in our first discussion board posting. While the
vocal majority seemed to agree that art could foster social change, many of us, when
encountering work such as Warhol’s 200 One Dollar Bills or Marcel Duchamp’sFountain
might find ourselves wondering exactly what type of change such work could really make.
Does a painting that takes money for its subject do anything to unsettle a culture that seems
more and more to place the individual pursuit of money above the needs of the community?
Does a urinal inscribed with a forged signature (see Duchamp’s work mentioned above) do
anything more than offer a paltry challenge to the taste of a leisured class?
It was precisely the complicity of market system art like Duchamp’s and the American Pop
artists like Warhol, Jasper Johns, and Robert Rauschenberg with the oppressive class that
was at the heart of a 1973 protest staged in front of another landmark Sotheby’s auction. On
that October day a group of New York City taxi drivers and artists stood before the renowned
auction house to call down Robert C. Scull who they claimed made his fortune robbing
cabbies and hawking art. Some of the artists marching in solidarity with the taxi cab drivers
rushed out to a nearby hardware store to by a snow shovel to sell at exorbitant price, poking
fun at Duchamp’s In Advance of the Broken Arm. Is this critique of art’s complicity with big
money an apt one?
The idea that the art market is synonymous with ‘business as usual’ is an idea that is as
pervasive today as ever—if not more so. As Eleanor Heartney reminds us in her lecture on
art and labour, one move made by activists of the recent Occupy Wall Street movement was
to set up occupations in a number of New York City’s museums. The organizers of the
Occupy Museums march declared in a public statement that “for the past decade and more,
artists and art lovers have been the victims of the intense commercialization and co-optation
or art.” They further claimed that “art is for everyone, across all classes and cultures and
communities” and not merely for the cultural elite, or the 1%. The artist activists closed their
statement by exhorting museums to open their minds and their hearts: “Art is for everyone!”
they claimed. “The people are at your door!”
These two protests demonstrate an abiding and perhaps growing suspicion of the received
idea that market system art can change things. But while market system art is placed under
intense scrutiny, a growing field of artists and educators have been working to disseminate
the practices and techniques of art making in order to sow the seeds of change. This
community based art (sometimes referred to as ‘dialogical art’ or ‘community arts’) seeks to
place in the hands of the marginalized, the worker, or, in the words of the.

When the Community Access Project of Somerville attempted to mitigate the City of Somerville's discriminatory planning for an inaccessible "Art on Emotion"exhibit and affiliated programs, we received a lovely response from the Somerville staffer directing the Suicide Prevention and Youth Program. However, she gave us incorrect information, possibly as a result of the Somerville Museum Director's falsehood. She said that the Museum was "seeking matching funds," as though this was to help with the accessibility barriers.
This letter and responses shows the good faith effort made by CAPS to help the Somerville Health Department's Art on Emotion program become integrated, accessible and equally provided to ALL residents.
Ignoring this good-faith effort, the City of Somerville decided to hold this program in a wholly discriminatory manner, from September 26 through December 17, 2010, at the inaccessible Somerville Museum.

Sweeping Exchanges:
The Contribution of Feminism
to the Art of the 1970s
Lucy R. Lippard
Lucy R. Lippard is an art critic
and a member of the collective that
publishes Heresies, afeminist
periodical on politics and the arts.
By now most people-not just feminist
people-will acknowledge that feminism
has made a contribution to the avant-
garde and/or modernist arts of the 1970s.1
What exactly that contribution is and how
important it has been is not so easily
established. This is a difficult subject for
a feminist to tackle because it seems
unavoidably entangled in the art world's
linear I-did-it-firstism, which radical fem-
inists have rejected (not to mention our
own, necessarily biased inside view). If
one says-and one can-that around
1970 women artists introduced an ele-
ment of real emotion and autobiographi-
cal content to performance, body art,
video, and artists' books; or that they
have brought over into high art the use of
"low" traditional art forms such as em-
broidery, sewing, and china painting; or
that they have changed the face of central
imagery and pattern painting, of layering,
fragmentation, and collage-someone
will inevitably and perhaps justifiably
holler the names of various male artists.
But these are simply surface phenomena.
Feminism's major contribution has been
too complex, subversive, and fundamen-
tally political to lend itself to such inter-
necine, hand-to-hand stylistic combat. I
am, therefore, not going to mention names,
but shall try instead to make my claims
sweeping enough to clear the decks.
Feminism's greatest contribution to the
future of art has probably ...

INTRODUCTION
How does music help us understand the complexity of culture?
You close your eyes and feel the music. Your head bobs up and down. You see the
color of the lights through your eyelids.
Are you close to the stage, with bodies and sweat pressed to your shoulders, or do you
hang back? Do you feel a connection with the surrounding strangers? With the band? What
kind of music is it? Do the lyrics reflect your experiences or do they transport you into another
perspective? Where are you? A packed underground club? A stadium? Or a library cubicle,
listening on Beats headphones?
Music is a powerful force in our lives. It is also a multibillion-dollar industry, with
organizational and technological changes that shape how music is made and experienced.
Music is just one kind of culture, shaping our views of the world, connecting people near and
far.

We humans produce far more than what we need for mere survival. Our intellect allows
for expansive creativity, self-reflection, and communication. We transform our living
environment. We share ideas and values. Culture, broadly, is everything we make and
consume—including our ideas, attitudes, traditions, and practices—beyond that bare
necessity. Music may very well be one of the earliest forms of culture humanity produced.
“Culture” is one of the most difficult words for a sociologist to use. Sociological research
on culture varies, but most sociologists are committed to the idea that the symbolic and
expressive aspects to social life—the beliefs and values we hold, as well as the practices and
activities we engage in—are worth examination. Thinking in this way, burritos and Beyoncé,
athleisure and college athletics, juggalos (fans of the band Insane Clown Posse) and graffiti all
uncover great sociological questions.
Opening this chapter with a few questions about how you experience music illustrates
how we can think about culture from a sociological perspective. Émile Durkheim allows us to
think about how much of social life works via culture: he notes that symbols (material or

11.1 LEARNING OUTCOMES
After completing this chapter, you should be able to:
• Understand why art and ethics are associated
• Identify works of art that were censored due to their failure to meet societal ethics
• Indicate why ethical values change over time by society
• Articulate why some societal groups may consider some works of art controversial
• Identify ethical considerations in the artist’s use of others’ art work in their own, the
materials used in making art, manipulation of an image to alter its meaning or intent,
and the artist’s moral obligations as an observer
• Identify roles that museums play in the preservation, interpretation, and display of
culturally significant objects
11.2 INTRODUCTION
This chapter is concerned with the perception, susceptibility, and ethics of art. It will explore
and analyze the moral responsibility of artists and their rights to represent and create without
censorship.
Morality and art are connected usually in art that provokes and disturbs. Such art stirs up the
artist’s or viewer’s personal beliefs, values, and morals due to what is depicted. Works that seem
to purposely pursue or strongly communicate a message may cause controversies to flair up: con-
troversies over the rights of artistic freedom or over how society evaluates art. That judgment of
works created by artists has to do with society’s value judgment in a given time in history.
The relationship between the artist and society is intertwined and sometimes at odds as it
relates to art and ethics. Neither has to be sacrificed for the other, however, and neither needs to
bend to the other in order to create or convey the work’s message.

CHAPTER TEN: ART AND RITUAL LIFE
Page | 280
INTRODUCTION TO ART
Art is subjective: it will be received or interpreted by different people in various ways. What may
be unethical to one may be ethical to another. Because art is subjective, it is vulnerable to ethical
judgment. It is most vulnerable when society does not have a historical context or understanding
of art in order to appreciate a work’s content or aesthetics. This lack does not make ethical judg-
ment wrong or irrational; it shows that appreciation of art or styles changes over time and that
new or different art or styles can come to be appreciated. The general negative taste of society
usually changes with more exposure. Still, taste remains subjective.
Ethics has been a major consideration of the public and those in religious or political power
throughout history. For many artists today, the first and major consideration is not ethics, but the
platform from which to create and deliver the message through formal qualities and the medium.
Consideration of ethics may be established by the artist but without hindrance of free expression.
It is expected that in a work of art an artist’s own beliefs, values, and ideology may contras ...

INTRODUCTION TO ART
Art is subjective: it will be received or interpreted by different people in various ways. What may
be unethical to one may be ethical to another. Because art is subjective, it is vulnerable to ethical
judgment. It is most vulnerable when society does not have a historical context or understanding
of art in order to appreciate a work’s content or aesthetics. This lack does not make ethical judg-
ment wrong or irrational; it shows that appreciation of art or styles changes over time and that
new or different art or styles can come to be appreciated. The general negative taste of society
usually changes with more exposure. Still, taste remains subjective.
Ethics has been a major consideration of the public and those in religious or political power
throughout history. For many artists today, the first and major consideration is not ethics, but the
platform from which to create and deliver the message through formal qualities and the medium.

How Art Educates
Art as a Community
For an artist, their use of creativity can bring attention to key issues in society and drive
social change. Using their platforms to educate and spread awareness, art itself can
become a conduit for debate and progress – and as it spreads, it can even evolve into
a movement. The study of art can provide valuable opportunities for personal growth,
inspiring people to take action and make changes in their own lives.
Art can enable people to evaluate their own perspectives on the world and think about
points of view that differ from their own.
Art also provides an opportunity to foster connections with others. For those who discov-
er artists that they admire and start to follow their careers, they enter into a community
of like-minded art lovers, creating more connections and helping to point them in the
direction of other celebrated artists.
As a result of the growing influence of the digital world, there are far less barriers to
the advancement and celebration of art. By utilising social media and the internet,
artists can reach more people than ever before and enable their followers to come
together organically.
