Om politisk kunst

Chantal Mouffe:

—One cannot make a distinction between political art and non-political art, because every form of artistic practice either contributes to the reproduction of the given common sense — and in that sense is political — or contributes to the deconstruction or critique of it. Every form of art has a political dimension.

Rosalyn Deutsche:

—That’s why I, like many artists and critics, avoid the term “political art”: Precisely because it asserts that other art—indeed art per se or so-called real art—is not political, “political art” is a powerful political weapon, one that is routinely deployed to ghettoize art that avows the political. Similarly, the term “feminist art” insinuates that art itself is free of sexual politics.
