Another International Conference of Blabbering Incestuous Artworld Acolytes
Art Tart:
Cultural identity, in the deepest sense, is all about open, intrinsic values. The institutional culture is never a means but always an end. Cultural resources, rituals, and activities are valued in and of themselves. They are not things that can be reduced to quantifiable standards. Culture, then, exists in sharp contrast to the institutional sphere, in which all phenomena is reduced to utility, and expropriation and expediency become the accepted artworld norms.
