Sztuka – wbrew czy ku demokracji?
Art – Against or Towards Democracy?

Summary/Abstract: The authors pose the thesis that the subversive potential of contemporary art has been almost completely disarmed by its own institutions, that is, the art market, art galleries, museums and art academies. Art is now the domain of the intellectual and financial elite, which fully oversee its distribution to a wider audience. The main threat to art is undemocratically managed institutions in big cities and world capitals; an invisible inner censorship works within them that does not permit the display of truly subversive art. The authors see a realm of freedom for art in the margins, which include not only geographical margins, but also personal ones.
