institution revolution
The backbone of the art industry is without a doubt the institutions that create the ideologies that the work is theoretically based on. If our learning institutions are not sound, neither will the industry be. The core of what art schools teach is based on curriculum, not the system's structure, mechanics of operation and so forth. Beurocracy determines what is being taught in the curriculum, and also in the classroom. It's this internal communitiy that's at risk of being corrupted, and often is to some degree. There's the relationship between other education facilities like broader- disciplined universities and their influence on society's ideological standards- which I believe are more important on the wider community's ideological health than art schools. The importance of their existence for and their contribution to society's general intelligence for eg., can't be more valued, especially in the threat of today's pending sociological crisis. It'd be too simple to suggest a need for an amalgamated effort of all learning institutions as a collective force. Without ignoring the independence needed on the part of other institutions for the integrity of their dispensation, their necessity can hardly be sidelined in its role as key player. Whilst the intellectual standards of the masses reflect the inner states of art schools' communities, the health of the communities have greater influence on the masses in comparison.
