Art has become a commodity like any other product in our society. Artists must
prostitute themselves to have their art diffused in today’s world, dominated
by market laws. This relationship remains hidden behind a veil of normal relations
between the artist and society, which is instead based on dishonesty and scam.
“ Art and Prostitution” puts in the face of visitors
the true reality of the relationship between art and the market.
By placing a price on the artist’s intimate parts and by
the writing “Space available for art dealers” it
shows how the work of the artist is totally dependent on the
market surrounding him.
The generalized commercialization of words, bodies, souls, nature,
culture, is the central character of our age and violence is
the central point of ideological device.
The art work describes the moral and spiritual emptiness in
a society that measures everything in terms of what it consumes.
The art doctrine is based on quick profit earning and we ignore
how often art is disturbed by the time spent in dedicating ourselves
to find money to survive. The evolution of the market has substituted
the human evolution. I always wanted to destroy this logic of
art profit because I have no intention to be destroyed by it.
I prefer to be ignored with decency.. |
