“The volume is a welcome intervention that tracks the complex interdependencies of artistic practice and the infrastructures of its support: public, economic, and social. Most convincingly, the book serves as a vital call to arms for working artists to hone their own infrastructural imaginations and to reimagine their capacities for collaboratively performing policy … .” (Brandon Woolf, TDR: The Drama Review, Vol. 61 (2), 2017)

“Bonin-Rodriguez’s Performing Policy carries the reader through two decades of innovative responses to the 1990s culture wars. … The book offers something for just about everyone concerned with contemporary arts practice and policy. … Performing Policy is a unique, precocious, creative, bold, and meticulously researched contribution to our understanding of upheavals and innovation over two decades of American arts and culture.” (Ann Markusen, The Journal of Arts Management, Law, and Society, Vol. 45 (4), November, 2015)

How Contemporary Politics and Cultural Programs Redefined U.S. Artists for the Twenty-First Century

von P. Bonin-Rodriguez

This book demonstrates how and why a majority of US artists must now function as producers of their original works, as well as creators. The author shows how, over the span of 20 years, the USA's cultural policy sector radically redefined US artists' practices without cohesively articulating the expectations of artists' new role.
