Artists’ lives — the arts pol­i­cy fallacy

Owen Kel­ly cri­tiques Artists’ lives: ecolo­gies for resilience in a MIAAW pod­cast. In par­tic­u­lar, he con­sid­ers the effi­ca­cy and social res­o­nance of the study’s research method­ol­o­gy which — unusu­al­ly for the arts — is qual­i­ta­tive and lon­gi­tu­di­nal. He judges its val­ue as pro­vi­sion of a unique and detailed exam­i­na­tion of the kind of lives artists live when cul­ture is seen polit­i­cal­ly as an indus­try rather than as a social responsibility.
