Hanne Loreck
SYNOPSIS The Anthology of Art's question is not historically accurate nor is it formulated as an analysis. A suitable prophecy or visionary answer would be a myth or para-religious, and beyond the hierarchies of social relationships, reformulating ideas of authorship in clandestine coalition with well known models of heroic virility, a condition of artistic identity concepts. The expectation of art as such is problematic as well. Art is explained in post-structural terms by context, fragment and perspective (subject, gender, ideology, etc.). Thus Loreck speaks against the cult of the sublime which seems to return, pushed by idealistic and commercial interests, to the art market - the market of art works, art critic and art theory. It is also included in the utopic potential of art as stated in the Anthology's question. Even if vision comes in diagonally from above, or is excavated, or recognized by hermeneutic examination: a vision is not necessarily a subversive view of the future. The Anthology's question, too, continues the permanent desire for new things. Pressure for innovation reigns over the art market. |
