- Summary:
- Impatient with the often closed circuits within which art circulates, Rutger Pontzen calls upon artists to look for fresh venues for their work. Pontzen advocates a 'relational aesthetics' that truly steps out of the white cube and into zones rarely troubled by art, such as suburbs and ghettos. "Nice!" is a study of those artists who do not feel such idealism to be a relic of a bygone age.
