What if artists exhibit in shows sponsored by corporations or organizations like the Dubai International Financial Centre (as di Modica did in 2011)? Is it still art? Or is it just filthy advertising for filthy corporate DIFC (/s)?
- spdionis 10y agoI think there is a difference between organizing and sponsoring a show, and comissioning an actual work of art with a specific goal. Arguable though.
- fnord123 10y agoI think there's a difference but I don't think it matters. Do you like the work? Does it get people talking? Is it iconic? Does it elicit political change? I don't think the answers change if we follow the money (except, sure, drop the plaque).
