Art as Commodity
Episode 36. Art as Commodity
Today's art world is driven by multimillion-dollar auctions and fancy art fairs inaccessible to most Americans — Art Basel Miami, anyone? Those who do view art spend an average of just eight seconds per work, so it's not clear that we're even meaningfully experiencing those Monet water lilies. In this episode, Ellie and David explore the way capitalism has turned art into a commodity. From Basquiat to Banksy, even street art seems to have been devoured by capitalism’s endless hunger for monetary exchange, selling aesthetics of revolution for millions of dollars at auction. How might intricate Tibetan sand paintings and even macaroni necklaces help us envision a future for art outside of commodification?

If art is a commodity, who decides the cost? Sean Patrick Mulroy at TEDxNortheasternU
Sean Patrick Mulroy has a stunningly simple idea to fix the issue of arts funding in America: make people care about art.
Sean Patrick Mulroy is sick of the hustle. Sean has toured across America and Europe as a poet and has seen first hand the differences in how the arts both appreciated, and consumed, around the world. After all of his experiences he's come to a startling simple conclusion: we need to encourage people to care about art—and it might be easier than we think.

Modern art is expensive. From completely white canvases to simple abstract colours, these seemingly basic works can cost you millions. So what makes their price so high and how can they possibly be worth this much money?
