AAM Feature Profile: Learn
Sarah Thornton is a writer, cultural sociologist, and former chief correspondent on contemporary art for The Economist. A frequent guest speaker and panelist at international museums, universities, and literary festivals, Thornton has written for numerous publications, including, Artforum, the Guardian, and the New Yorker, and her books include Club Cultures: Music, Media and Subcultural Capital (1995), and 2008’s critically lauded Seven Days in the Art World.
In 2009, Thornton began investigating the fundamental questions: What is an artist? How do artists command belief in their work? And, what artistic myths do they enliven or reject? After interviewing and observing over a hundred artists, she came up with the structure and themes of her latest book, 33 Artists in 3 Acts (2014). The book’s three acts—Politics, Kinship, and Craft—serve as the first three sessions of the AAM’s fall Contemporary Art Short Course, with the fourth and final “encore” session on November 2, to be led by Thornton herself.
