The panel will discuss how globalization works on two levels: cultural and economic. Hypothetically, the first addresses art as a manifestation of basis human interests, while the second promotes corporate interests mixed with political allegiances. Artists tend to see the world as "large" from the inside out, whereas corporate interest see the world as "small" from the outside in. This suggests a fundamental conflict in terms of communication. Often artists are put in a position of having to conform to business interests that are outside of their intentions and threatening to their survival. The terms of art quickly become the terms of a global economic exchange, thus displacing the content of art away from addressing concerns of identity, well-being, and a restructured quality of life. | |
