#idnSTREETart, 2017

I wish that politicians would ­realize how important funding structures are and how much these can shape an art scene – shape a city.Art should first and foremost raise questions that are important for present and future societies. In the last decade, art has moved closer to science, technology, and society. It has become less commercialized and more diverse. We would like art to become not only illustrative and speculative, but also functional, embedding even more science and technologies within itself. This would encourage the audience to be even closer to art, perhaps more critical, diverse, ­tolerant, and creative.It just makes my heart sing. Despite all that, I believe in art, but I guess it is about time to find new ways (again).
