Visual arts have often played a crucial role in history as a pioneer of change. Even now. Art that until recently had little chance to show itself is being exhibited and is finding a response. Makers from all over the world are emerging from the shadows and other themes are pushing to the forefront. But not without a fight. Some of the old behemoths are trying to maintain their old positions and prevent change. For example, with the argument that only ‘quality’ counts. But what if the prevailing view of quality is too limited?
Hans den Hartog Jager has been closely following developments in international visual arts for years. In his razor-sharp reviews in nrc, sacred cows are kicked over, new makers are applauded, established values are discussed and institutions are critically examined.
In Revolution in Paradise, these pieces are collected and richly illustrated. Bundled together, they offer a powerful picture of the arts in a period of great change. IN DUTCH!
