Among a panel of artists, Stefan Kalmár, director of the ICA said the big question is whether we can bite the hand that feeds us? He said: “The economic make-up of the 21st century has forced us to shy away from more fundamental questions. An artist is now someone who sells work through a commercial system, to people they might not know, whose political and social affiliations they might not know. As a director, you wonder how long those contradictions are sustainable. Your exhibition might be sponsored by people who you oppose.”
If you’re an artist we’d like to know what you think are the biggest issues facing the art world today.
