Revolutions in Public Practice discussed

I’ve been following two different threads of discussion regarding the Creative Time Summit “Revolutions in Public Practice” that took place in NYC a week or so ago. The summit was a one-day conference where 35 different artists gave 30 minute presentations about their work at the NY Public Library.
The discussions I’ve been following are taking place on the Art Forum and Frieze Magazine blogs, respectively.
Public Opinion came out first. I’ve read other commentary by Claire Bishop before, such as her Antagonism and Relational Aesthetics as well as The Social Turn. I find her writing too vitriolic to seem helpful, but still interesting. Even more interesting to me is the conversations that go on around her writing, for example the entire thread found on the Leisure Arts blog here, here, and here.
After that healthy dose of cynicism, it was interesting to see the dialogue that showed up after the Frieze review, “Underneath the Nine-Hour-Long Conference, the Beach!”
I’d be interested to hear what other people think about this development.
