The Art of Entertaiment
The clown at the birthday party, the Broadway show, the stadium rock concert, your friends fighting over the last potato chip—all are entertainment. It comes from the old French entretenir meaning “hold together” or “support,” but in modern times it has come to mean amusement or distraction. Whether we are watching a play, reading a novel, or listening to music, the familiar forms of entertainment have demonstrated a seemingly infinite capacity for creative remix. This collection explores a range of genres and media, including motion picture, television, books, music, live performance, branded entertainment, and new media.
