Issue No. 3: A Masters of Business Art?
Guest Editor Erica Pastore in co-operation with NUROPE (2007)
isbn 0-97753282-2-7 (Volume 3)
This work is a culmination of a year-long process of inquiry undertaken by MA students of Arts Management in dialogue with others concerned with the study of the field. Its starting point is Pierre Guillet de Monthoux's Fields of Flow Movie 'A Masters of Business Art', and his book The Art Firm. Students travelled to Documenta in Kassel, Germany and Gattieres, in Southern France exploring the notions raised in these works. In Europe they encountered other scholars from the Nomadic University for Art and Enterprise shaping their discussions and inquiry further. This publication is the result of a journey of inquiry from Buffalo, NY to Kassel and Gattieres, initiated by a book and a film, formed through an international art event and shaped through many inquiries into different art firms.
