Dimitri Bleichenbacher on The Triumphant Progress of Market Success
15 January, 2024
How are artists trained today? What service do they provide? How much is an artwork worth? What is the market price? What is value? Why is ZHdK (Zurich University of the Arts) no longer decentrally spread over the city of Zürich? Is Toni-Areal really the place where contemporary artists are educated? Why in an impermeable bunker? Where is the subculture? Is it all fake? Why do you need to be rich to become a ZHdK artist in the first place? Has the art market simply become another custom of the neoliberal system? Why is there a shortage of contemporary art? Why do artists play along in this game? What is an artist? What role did artists play throughout history? Who defines the role of artists today? Couldn’t we just get rid of them entirely?
