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.. |
