"Dialogues in Diversity: Art from Marginal to Mainstream consists of dialogues with leading artists from around the world from both mainstream and marginalized cultures. John Grande's contention is that the traditional centers of the art world are now feeding on the margins with the most interesting perspectives coming from such regions as South America, Africa, Asia, and Scandinavia. "What is the relation of art to the environment?" "How can art make us see and relate to the world around us?" "What can art do to preserve the future of our planet and enrich our lives?" Questions such as these continually surface in these dialogues with artists from Canada, Chile, Mexico, Norway, Senegal, China, Canada, Iran, the USA and Great Britain."--BOOK JACKET.
