Abstract
This chapter describes how art today is curated into management philosophy and how it came to be like that. A walk through the Stockholm School of Economics introduces the reader to the pedagogical and intellectual foundations of its art-based curriculum. Today, art and commerce naturally crisscross in an economy where aesthetics increasingly matters. The chapter historically traces the Stockholm School of Economics’ relation with art, to illustrate how art before the millennium was predominantly instrumentalized in critical management discourses as invectives, irony, imitations, and interventions. The chapter then discusses how intentional art has inspired post-2000 the approach of the Stockholm School of Economics to curate management knowledge and education.
