How is it possible that sexual harassment is not dealt with but those who commit such acts keep on for example as teachers? How is it possible that such people stay as respectable artists who have a valued position within art and they continue to influence the scene? How is it possible totally incompetent people continue to teach art, have power making decisions in art, about art? Is art something that can be taught by just anybody who happens to have a name in art? How is it possible that there is no freedom of speech in art but those who oppose and question practices in use like bad habits are silenced and laughed at? How is it possible that corruption is impossible to get rid off even though there is common understanding that it is harmful to the whole community and it does not further agenda of art itself but agenda of people in power? How is it possible that your origin, gender, age, personal views and opinions effect how you are treated in art? How is it possible that those who make money with art have power in art, those who collect art have a say, politicians have interest in art when it brings tourists and fame? How is it possible that art is a tool for the powerful still and artists accept this because they have no other choice? A scene that is scared to face the severe problems it has as a community, that thinks it is teaching something to the public as something superior, is truly fucked up. To favor institutions by financing their policies and ways of acting is not in the best interest of art, artists or the whole of society.
Art which has to be found and searched for instead of it being there where you are just like that in your everyday whoever you are, there where you live and work, is elitist. Elitism is of course an old lament and to live without crossing art in everyday is normal. If you don’t want to or don’t desire see art, you can easily forget it. My question is what has to be done for art to gain its lost place as organic part of our constructed environment, not as monuments, but as something active and useable, not practical but meaningful?
