art

Art in many societies didn't exist as a separate entity or idea, because it was embedded in cultural practices. So art is a capitalist commodity to keep the class system and reinforce inequality. Art is the enemy of everyday people only because it has been wielded by the elite as a symbolic status, and gives unequal access to privileged kids to make and exhibit art. It is used as "art education" to patronize and give "high culture" to lower classes, a hollow charity project. This is dead art. "Not evil art" is living art, used in discussion in all stages of education and life, as a tool to help people make their own realities and self determine. Art that is LIVED, as culture is lived, is the only non exploitative art. When culture is finally divorced from capitalist commodification, art will rightfully die.
