Art Against Art #5

As we see the art world recalibrate again to a new cultural necessity, reacting to the face of power in a spectrum of ways, we’re seeing how closely connected cultural behaviour is, in reality, predictably mapped onto private interests. Very specific and niche individual trade-offs between the accuracy of an actor’s self view and their world view, mixed with their calculations and desires in relation to their personal biases, perceptions of positive value (social, political and economic value) as well their perceptions of the future are calculated determining a person’s consumer habits and in turn their cultural choices.
