Behind the current economic downturn lies a deeper problem, namely that the type of exchanges facilitated by the economy are out of kilter with human and environmental needs. Mainstream politicians lack the vocabulary or authority to discuss this issue. Outlets for dissent and deliberation are found elsewhere within the economics profession, in activist movements and attempts to create alternative networks and organisations. In these exchanges some see the seeds of a new ‘social economy’.
Part 2. The Invisible Hand
The connection between these counter-currents and art, featuring case studies from the IETM network in three parts: (i) the story of artists’ attempts to escape markets (ii) the story of artists’ assault on the power of economists and economics (iii) the story of artists and arts organisations attempt to create alternative economies. These stories are about art not as an input for productivity, or luxury made possible by economic growth, but rather as an ‘invisible hand’ setting the terms on which exchange in the economy takes place.
Part 3. Art In Transition
This concluding section suggests that artists who start questioning the economy, end up questioning the values of the cultural sector. From this flows an opportunity - to stake out a new, more useful position for art in society less wedded to vested-interests and the distorting influence of the art-market. The concluding recommendations are first, to create a networked discussion about morality and obligation in art and second to ʻschoolʼ emerging alternative economic practice that sustains artistsʼ livelihoods and third to continue to collect examples of artistic projects which can challenge thinking about the economy. These recommendations will be taken forward in the blog which accompanies this paper. | | En ligne : | http://ietm.org/sites/default/files/invisible_hand.pdf |
