Public Art acknowledges the trend among contemporary museums to promote participatory and processual exhibition strategies meant to elicit subjective experience. At the same time it valorizes the object-oriented tradition that has long differentiated museums from other institutions similarly committed to public service and the perpetuation of cultural values. To blend and expand these aims; Hein draws upon a movement toward ephemerality and impermanence in public art. She proposes a new dynamic for the museum that is temporal and pluralistic; while retaining a grounding in material things. The museum is an agent; not a repository; and like public art; it interacts constructively with passing and transitory publics. As an actor with social clout; the museum has moral impact and responsibilities beyond those of the individuals that comprise its collective identity. The book should be read by museum workers and students; by arts and foundation administrators; critics; educators; aestheticians; institutional historians and theorists; and by anyone interested in the transmission of cultural concepts and values.

Its systematized and methodological like a theory book; but its written in very plain and easy language with a barrage of helpful examples. Please note--plain and easy language doesnt mean you can skim it and understand it. You have to think about what he is saying and do the examples yourself to really learn from this. He doesnt just give examples of using rhymes effectively; but he also provides examples of the process of researching and crafting rhymes; and making decisions about lyric writing. He has a great blog; too. Google it.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Solid information about rhymes.By Michael A. FloydThis is a very technical book; that will give you a deeper understanding of rhymes; some times the technical stuff gets a little dry but its worth pushing through that to be able to use the tools it offers some one that is trying to get better at anything. I highly recommend this book. Im only a third the way through this book; and taking my time to absorb; not a fast read.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
