More and more “the art world” seems a curious term. In its history, art has been in palaces, churches, parks, on streets, in indigenous villages, on bodies, in temples, on city walls, under the ocean, in outer space. It has colonized everything.
Yet the art world is made up of museums, galleries, curators, artists, critics, auction houses, entrepreneurs, collectors and art fairs. Yet in many ways, the art world is where art get locked away, pulled into this world. Most people don’t find serious art in their world, don’t find it meaningful, don’t find it accessible.
No retreat into the art world, but invasion of the world.
