  • “The analogy I’m making here is that the local government sector increasingly views the production of culture as something they ‘provide’, whereas their structure and human resources are generally geared more towards administration. The idea that they’re going to ‘provide’ culture is a bit like a library saying it’s going to stop buying books and the librarians are all going to start writing them themselves. After all, they know about books – they spend the whole day cataloguing and managing information systems about them. And if they buy books from a publisher or author, how do they know that publisher or author is writing work relative to the community the library serves?”
