Ingratitude

by Ruth Barker, 26 Jul 2011

Hello,

Chris Fremantle forwarded this link to me over the weekend. Interesting reading.

Perhaps it connects to the previous post, where I was musing about artist’s ability / desire to be ‘political’. Or, maybe, a related question – about whether or not ‘the public’ are likely to perceive artwork as being explicitly political. I feel (wholly subjectively, with no evidence) that people see artists as being very individualist creatures these days, caught up with self expression and the pursuit of their careers. Perhaps therefore, they have less expectation that artists may also be, have, or make politics.

Just musing.

More later,

R
