Salon II Purview

Salon II (Free Money)

From Michelle Grabner:

"The current state of contemporary art is rudderless. Like much else
in our global world, the free market economy has cracked open the
potential of goods, products, wares, articles, and merchandise. As we
know the cultural world is not immune to exchange, distribution and
consumption. Museums and galleries play host to a display of
imaginative forms that have cultural and material value. As an artist
and critic, I am never comfortable making this direct analogy between
the cultural world and market economies. However, the upside is that
art practices have diversified. The contemporary art world no longer
champions one official language, instead it will consider all forms of
production. Craft is no longer relegated to the craft world. Graphic
design, or forms of social practice can make their ways into
galleries, museums and on to the covers of the leading art
periodicals. This is a good thing but it makes criticism difficult."
