Ben Davis Quotes
Looking At And 'appreciating' Art Has Been Understood As An Instrument (or At Best A Result) Of Upward Mobility, In Which Owning Art Is The Ultimate Step. Making Art Is At The Bottom Of The Scale. This Is The Only Legitimate Reason To See Artists As So Many Artists See Themselves - As 'workers'. At The Same Time, Artists/makers Tend To Feel Misunderstood And, As Creators, Innately Superior To The Buyers/owners. The Innermost Circle Of The Art-world Class System Thereby Replaces The Rulers With The Creators, And The Contemporary Artist In The Big City Is A Schizophrenic Creature. S/he Is Persistently Working 'up' To Be Accepted, Not Only By Other Artists, But Also By The Hierarchy That Exhibits, Writes About And Buys His / Her Work. At The Same Time S/he Is Often Ideologically Working 'down' In An Attempt To Identify With The Workers Outside Of The Art Context And To Overthrow The Rulers In The Name Of Art.
