Description

What We Made: Conversations on Art and Social Cooperation explores the collaborative aesthetic experiences being created in contemporary art. Tom Finkelpearl examines social cooperation as a meaningful way to understand this work, providing a framework for its emergence and acceptance.

In a series of conversations with artists, art historians, and experts from related fields, Finkelpearl discusses issues such as cooperative working practices, the role of museums and libraries, and the challenges of evaluating collaborative art. He also explores the impact of new media on social change and the nature of artistic collaboration.

Through these discussions, Finkelpearl argues that pragmatism offers a useful critical platform for understanding the experiential nature of social cooperation. This book provides a unique insight into the world of contemporary art and its relationship with society.
