Contemporary art made simple

Contemporary art configures itself in the interstices of the fatigue of postmodernist surreality in a way that confounds its own tragicomic proclivity, resulting in a stance that is both preclusive and frankly post-apochalyptic.  This, of course, implies that the artist-viewer dialogue contorts into a false dilemma pitting the white cube against the transient and ever-expanding practice space of the activist political and social agenda. So contemporary art exerts itself as the savior of the present chaotic world, even as it struggles aimlessly to free itself from its elitist and capitalistic bondage.
