What happens when social scientists write about artworks: helping
people blind to economic ideas see something for the first time.
What happens when social scientists write about artworks? How does it
affect the academic environment of a business school and how does it
change the perception of art? Can it be used as a novel scientific
method in business studies? This book investigates these matters by
analyzing the Goldin+Senneby's retrospective exhibition "Standard Length
of a Miracle" set up in Tensta konsthall and multiple other venues in
Stockholm in the spring of 2016.
While the use of ekphrases goes back to ancient times in our Western
literary canon, it is new and unexplored territory for social scientists
at business schools--to describe artworks for people who who are blind
to economic concepts and ideas, helping them see what they did not see
before
Economic Ekphrasis: Goldin+Senneby and Art for Business Education is
part of the SSE Art Initiative series Experiments in Art and Capitalism.
