POLART will examine the relationship between art and policy through a double focus: an investigation of how art may produce policy knowledge 'that might be otherwise' (Law 2017) and how, conversely, policy issues have altered the contemporary artistic canon and forms of engagement. Our point of de-parture is that research has so far focused almost exclusively on the role of science and measurement in the production of policy, at the expense of an examination of how art can problematize the status-quo, question well-trodden paths, and offer alternative and imaginative ways of dealing with social problems. Although the relationship between art and policy-making is vastly under-explored, the arts have always been an essential element of how policy makers make sense of, interpret and hence gov-ern societies.POLART's daring promise is to develop interdisciplinary analysis that for the first time investigates the dynamic interrelationship of art and policy systematically. Through innovative methods, and at the crossroads of public policy, science and technology studies and the sociology of art, POLART will set the intellectual foundations of the novel 'Art and Public Policy' field. A major task of the study -and the field - will be the decoding of the material and performative 'hybrid knowing spaces' (Law 2017), as they emerge at the intersections of the art and the policy worlds.How do these aims translate in empirical terms? POLART will initially examine major international art exhibitions, in order to explore the relationship between art and policy problematization post-1989. Second, we will examine how, why and with what effects, the arts can mobilise policy change both at the global and local levels. Finally, we will explore how the arts may shape national/local policy mak-ers' political values towards the production of equitable and participatory governance, fit for the chal-lenges of the 21st century.

波拉特将通过双重重点来检查艺术与政策之间的关系：对艺术如何产生政策知识“可能是其他可能”的调查（2017年法律），相反，政策问题如何改变了当代艺术佳能和参与形式。我们的脱离观点是，迄今为止，研究几乎完全关注科学和衡量在政策制作中的作用，以牺牲艺术如何使现状问题质疑，质疑良好的道路，并提供替代性和想象力的方法来处理社会问题。尽管艺术与政策制定之间的关系尚未大大探索，但艺术一直是政策制定者如何理解，解释以及从而使政府社会的理解的重要组成部分。Polart的大胆诺言是开展跨学科分析，首次研究艺术和政策的动态相互关系。通过创新的方法，以及在公共政策，科学技术研究和艺术社会学的十字路口，Polart将设定新颖的“艺术与公共政策”领域的知识基础。该研究的主要任务 - 和该领域 - 将是对材料和表演性的“混合知识空间”的解码（法律​​2017），因为它们在艺术和政策世界的交集中出现。 Polart最初将研究主要的国际艺术展览，以探讨1989年后艺术与政策问题之间的关系。其次，我们将研究如何，为什么以及有什么影响，艺术可以动员全球和地方一级的政策变化。最后，我们将探讨艺术如何塑造国家/地方政策制定者的政治价值观，以产生公平和参与式治理，适合21世纪的Chal-lenges。
