Description

The economy remains a rationalising tool for explaining the condition of the artist, both for professional and for experts, even when this implies a form of dissociation between the artist and the economist. Focusing on the relationship between art and the market removes entire sections of the social imagination linked to art. This book provide answers to what appears to be a mysterious phenomenon, young people's vocation for art, by focusing on real-life situations and testimonials. Divided into three parts, it examines in turn the entry into the art world, the commitment to a project, which often takes an entrepreneurial turn, and finally several forms of commitment to transforming society through creation. It will be of great interest to scholars and students of the arts economy, work and employment and entrepreneurial ecosystems.
