Description
On contemporary art.
Critic and editor at Art Review, JJ Charlesworth, joins us to talk about why so much contemporary art is bad. We discuss:
Why is art no longer about beauty?
Are we stuck between art that is either superficial or hyperpolitical?
Why has there been a turn towards the mystical and irrational in art?
How are ideas of the indigenous and the ecological represented in art today?
Is there a romantic revolt against reason and is it new?
