Abstract Brian O'Doherty / Patrick Ireland is introduced (first through an overview of issues addressed in the current volume) as a versatile and boundary-crossing artist / writer / funder / institutional critic etc. His methodological diversity is subsequently traced (through two works in Ireland and his latest novel) as systemic work, a targeted social construction, in order to establish and promote the importance of art for human beings and their societies. This is seen as a current and important practice.
