A new model of action to invent new modes of art production and exchange by establishing a direct dialogue between the artist, the citizen-commissioner and the cultural mediator, outside the museum and apart from the art market.
Keeping capitalism out of the game while works and their contexts are reinvented: this book is about the possibility of a new chapter in the history of art, in which the “public” allows itself to become a patron of the arts, and people from all walks of life begin to speak the raison d'être of art works. Artists are faced with undreamed of situations in which the mediators of contemporary art play an avant-garde role. Responsibility for the common good is shared between citizens and their elected representatives, while a “gift economy” (public grants and private donations) provides the means to engage freely in a new adventure: the advent of an “art of democracy”.
