On Art and Capitalism
Manage episode 311973206 series 3207604
Things postmodpod hates the most, the bidding starts with: "Nationalism!" "Nationalism going once!" "Conservatives!" "We've got Conservatives on the left!" "Fascists!" "It's yours! Fascism is yours, don't let them steal it from you!" "Distribution of wealth in Art Markets!" "Ah the artists stole from you, fascists. Going once, going twice! SOLD" In this episode we look at some capitalist bullshit, what's new. In this case; Art Markets. How art institutions and rich people use art for financial gain, and the problems it creates for artists and their work.
