Artists’ Behaviour in the First Decade
From: Accounting for Culture
$0.84
The concept of cultural citizenship will only be useful if the public understands and embraces it. The first question artists will ask is whether or not they belong to a specific culture. Time and place, in this era of dematerialization, dislocation, and alienation, are extremely important. Being able to get and keep one’s hands on the actual substance of the media environment, to probe, reconfigure, and cleanse the ether of this place, is
crucial.
