This book is the second, extended edition of the first of its kind.

Hershberger, Associate Professor of Contemporary Art History, Bowling Green State University. ¿It is especially timely that a book addressing the many concerns regarding this degree should appear in the US market.¿ ¿Tom Huhn, Ph.D., Chair Visual & Critical Studies, Art History School of Visual Arts, New York. ¿The book is organized as a constructive debate that encourages people to engage with the issues.¿ ¿Lynette Hunter, Professor of the History of Rhetoric and Performance and Director UC Multicampus Research Group in International Performance and Culture, University of California Davis. ¿This book furthers the debate by opening various windows on the discussion of studio art.¿ ¿Harold Linton, Chair Department of Art and Visual Technology, College of Visual and Performing Arts George Mason University. ¿We are in the midst of a paradigm shift.The range of viewpoints presented in this collection will help spur the debate and contribute to clarifying what is at stake.¿ ¿Saul Ostrow, Chair, VisualArts and Technologies, Cleveland Institute of Art
