The Commodification of Art and Music

journal entry by jeanne

Review and Teaching Essay by Jeanne Curran and Susan R. Takata
Copyright: Jeanne Curran and Susan R. Takata and Individual Authors: August 2001. "Fair use" encouraged.

The basis for this essay is an article from Stockholm, 1998, on Art Magazines: Can You Trust Them?

"A biennial for cultural magazines took place in Stockholm May 7 - May 10, 1998, as a part of Stockholm as Cultural Capital of Europe 1998. During the biennial the Swedish AICA, in co-arrangement with Siksi, hosted a discussion with the title Art Magazines. Can You Trust Them?, which took place on May 8, in the auditorium of the Museum of Modern Art (Moderna Museet) in Stockholm."

I was on the Web looking for material on Brad Kahlhamer, a Native American artist whose work reminds me of that of Jean-Michel Basquiat. I had purchased the July-September 2001 issue of Flash Art because I fell in love with Kahlhamer's painting on the cover.

Link to artnet.com to see a painting by Brad Kahlhamer in which the indignant eagle jeanne loved so mush on the cover of Flash Art is included. backup
