Hi Heidi,
I did not change my mind. Quite the contrary. I want to depart from the classic Marxist approach of consumption being production and vice versa. It will be nice to be a flaneur in Brussels.And I am also an anarquist! 

Best,

karin

Reality or Symbolism

For Aristotle, "Every politician is an artist... It's not easy to fool a nation without art, but every artist is not a politician." The relation between art and politics can create a feeling of emptiness since art is able to denounce or make problems visible, but can never function as a potent political device. This emptiness has a relevance to the society in which the work of art is created or shown. How can a work of art transcend into a political field? Much of the art produced that is linked directly with politics, becomes an ideological social device, whilst the remainder function as simple representations that operate upon the imagination of the viewer rather than within the realm of a social reality.
