More on value

indentured-servants-working-the-fieldsThis time about the “indentured servitude” that student loans are piling onto Americans, and its effects on both the (idea of) middle class and the “American Dream.”

What is the value of art?

Andrea Fraser, 2004Marlene Dumas famously wrote,
“lf a Prostitute is a person /
who makes it a profession/
to gratify the lust of various persons /
for economical reasons or gain, /
where emotional involvement may /
or may not be present— /
Then it seems not so far removed /
from my definition of an artist.”
