Conceptual Frameworks

of the Four Agencies in

the Art World
 The Conceptual Framework comprises four agencies or functions:
artist, artwork, world and audience. When speaking or writing about
the visual arts we engage with these agencies and analyze how they
function and perform in relation with one another. The conceptual
framework tells us how the frames work in our interpretation and
understanding of art. The below diagram illustrates how relationships
between the four agencies of the art world may be considered.
 Artist

Artworks

Audience World
Artworks are intentionally made by artists,
constructed to have material and physical form.
Artworks are representations of ideas, personal
responses, cultural views, symbolic
interpretations and challenge conventional
notions of art objects.
The traditional function of the artist is to
make artworks, be they images or objects.
This agency is the "who, how and why" of art
making. 
The function of the audience refers to the role
and value of the audience as consumers and
critics. The audience includes responses to art
inside the school is by the classmate, teacher, or
parents. 
The World agency refers to the all the
possible things artists and audiences are
interested in and what artworks can be
about. It also includes a description and
interpretation of aspects of the world such
as time and place.
