Contributions by: Iwona Blazwick, Jeroen Boomgaard, Koen Brams, Catherine David, Anthony Dunne, Fiona Raby, Bart Lootsma, Janneke Wesseling, Camiel van Winkel and Kitty Zijlmans. *** "This publication results from the highly entertaining and much talked about series of debates organized by Witte de With in 2001. Without evoking formal theory, it explores and questions thinking routines and fashions that dominate the current art world. Catherine David and Iwona Blazwick explore the curator's new profile; Jeroen Boomgaard and Koen Brams tackle theory and art; Anthony Dunne and Fiona Raby question the relationship between design and art; Bart Lootsma and Camiel van Winkel look at art in public spaces; and Janneke Wesseling and Kitty Zijlmans discuss the position of non-western art in the western world." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Publicness and recognizability, by Camiel van Winkel; Against (the overestimation of) nature, by Bart Lootsma; Debate: Bart Lootsma, Siebe Thissen and Camiel van Winkel; New communication, no message ; Theory today, by Jeroen Boomgaard; The purloined letter in an adolescent's bedroom as a clip of Madonna in a karaoke cafe , by Koen Brams; Debate: Jeroen Boomgaard and Koen Brams; Brushing against the grain of history, by Iwona Blazwick; The new curator, by Catherine David; Debate: Iwona Blazwick and Catherine David; Design noir, by Anthony Dunne and Fiona Raby; Reply, by Alan Murray; Debate: Anthony Dunne, Fiona Raby and Alan Murray.
