In this series of nineteen dialogues with the art critic Suzi Gablik, artists, writers, and philosophers address the central questions of the meaning and purpose of art in an age of accelerating social change and spiritual uncertainty. According to the critic Hilton Kramer, art should be isolated from political and social issues. Contemporary artists such as Coco Fusco, meanwhile, explore new ways of making art that reconnects directly with the world. And Thomas Moore and James Hillman look at how art reflects the broader spiritual crises of our society as a whole.
