A (self)portrait of a young artist in the style of institutional critique
Valentinas Klimašauskas
The research is ongoing and it is based on research on how the current global sociopolitical and technological changes influences artistic roles. Although I’m using the “cultural field” idea of Pierre Bourdier to analaze cultural fields that are “breeding”, “charging” and “shaping” artists, I’m using the “theory-fiction” methodology (a good example could be Reza Negarestani’s book “Cyclonopedia: Complicity with Anonymous Materialswhich”, 2008) to theorise and speculate on possible artistic roles in the present and near-futures.
