Social Responsibility and the Place of the Artist in Society

By Carol Becker

Reflections on the art wars by feminist critic Carol Becker, Dean at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where student art twice set off national controversy over censorship. Becker discusses the reluctance of the art community to confront the content of censored work and the emotions the work generates, and tries to explain why the art world hasn't  developed a stronger methodology and discourse for addressing issues of social responsibility and accountability.

Carol Becker, Academic Vice President and Dean at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, is the author of Surpassing the Spectacle: Global Transformations and the Changing Politics of Art; The Invisible Drama: Women and the Anxiety of Change; Zones of Contention: Essays on Art, Institutions, Gender and Anxiety; (editor) The Subversive Imagination:  Artists, Society and Social Responsibility; and The Artist in Society. She organized an international conference on Art and Society at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1994.
