Politicking and the Market Tyler
Green's got a great post this morning that touches on two recurring discussions
(replete with lots of links). First, debunking the myth of the merit-based major
art fairs a la Basel or Biennale (we all know it has been a politicking
game all along). And secondly, that art criticism (and I would say also the perceived "value"
of art) is no longer about content, intention, social relevance or technical innovation,
but rather, the market. These two issues are far from resolved but it seems timely to begin a serious dialogue about their cause and effects.
