Description: "Certain Welsh Artists is a challenging examination of the intersection between art, culture and society. In it, artists, critics, and curators discuss the current 'hot' idea of custodial aesthetics and its relationship to visual art in Wales. The central premise - that artists consciously or unconsciously become the guardians of a culture - is the starting point for wide-ranging discussions by arts practitioners and theorists who, in personal statements and critically-acute essays, reveal the startling diversity of contemporary Welsh art."--Jacket.
