SYNOPSIS
We can't stride on into a future in which art renews itself permanently, and the society of spectacle develops with a speed which gives no reason to be optimistic. Spectacle neutralizes art into something else: mainly artistic and museal projects, protected by the so-called "relational aesthetics". Art dissolves in life, is mummified in a range of institutions and is humiliated under the pretext of "real time".
Alternative authenticity seems to be an art which is literally compromised as documentary, para-political, an art which is sure that this correct practice is a germ of the new way out.
Yet it is seemingly urgent, mean way out: international events and professional careers. So many encounters with curators, cross-eyed journalists, so much photogenic politics and insignificant talking. Only because the Empire is so vast that one does not know where to go when leaving the house.
