      The power now exerted by the economy on political, social and cultural life has extended its hold on art production so that the whole system is undergoing a complete transformation in response to the demands of an increasingly global market. Contemporary art plays an ever more prominent role in our culture. Its economic power is reflected in the exorbitant prices now reached at international auctions and in the increased popularity of exhibitions, biennales, festivals, shows and mega-happenings

      txt: Arts, Culture and the Public Sphere
      How do cultures relate to the public sphere? To which extent is the shape of the public discourse affected by cultural codes? What are the cultural dimensions of public knowledge? Why and how does culture matter? In contemporary societies the public sphere is constantly shaped and reshaped by media discourses. The public discourses can no more be analyzed at the national levels only because globalization processes are at work. We are witnessing the emergence of multiple global public spheres, which are intersecting to each other, articulating both local and global issues. In this context the role of culture is highly increased. The visibility of cultural codes becomes global. They are used to express power, to mediate conflicts, to negotiate claims of citizenship, to construct minority identities, gender and ethnicity issues, and to inscribe the public knowledge of the past in the national and international arena. The aesthetic dimensions are becoming key issue to articulate power relations. Culture matters and it does it in many new ways.

      txt from: Banksy's graffiti art sells for half a million
      "Perhaps the most incredible aspect of the Banksy phenomenon is neither his meteoric rise, nor the substantial sums of money that his art now commands, but that as a self-confessed guerilla artist, he has been so wholeheartedly embraced by the very establishment he satirises. We are sure that this irony is not lost on today's buyers."

      I want them to buy my art, do I?

      txt from: Austrian Cultural Forum London - Visual Arts Platform - Nikola Hansalik: I want them to buy my art, do I …
      "Seven telephones line the wall of an empty room, lit only by red neon lights. When lifted, the same voice speaks from each receiver and describes the future of Austrian artist Nikola Hansalik. In 2006 Hansalik travelled to New York, where the myth of success lines every street. Exploring the motivating forces behind the ever expanding art market, and questioning the mechanisms which attribute capital value to masterpieces, Hansalik set out to challenge her own future success as an artist. Over the course of a week, she asked a series of Manhattan fortune tellers to predict her future. The seven forecasts she collected, now heard through the seven receivers on the wall in her voice, seem at times uncannily identical, and at others, expectedly different. In asking for multiple predictions and presenting these in the same neon light so synonymous with New York, Hansalik removes the aura and veracity of a single prognosis, and reduces the intimate act of fortune telling into a banal cliche. ‘I want them to buy my art, do I…’ becomes an ironic self portrait, presenting personal details of an unconfirmed future."
