"This book, to a certain extent, aims to open up a field of discussion about whether or not art in the twenty-first century can be relevant for society outside the art world, and if so, how and where. We are now only at the beginning of this endeavor, but the direction, in my opinion, is already set: it is clear that criticality, resistance to economic instrumentalization, and a productive maintenance of autonomy as well as versatility will play a crucial role as parameters for artistic practices. Yet not only artists and cultural producers who act according to these criteria are needed; institutions that are as free as possible from national forces and neoliberal agendas are required as well in order to offer these productions an appropriate platform. Therefore, new concepts for institutions need to be devised and discussed. There is still work to be done..."-- provided by distributor.
