- Summary:
- "Over recent decades, the fields of art and real estate have both been granted the dubious honor of being afflicted by speculation.

Whether artists act as "pioneers" of gentrification processes, or whether nonconformist art projects risk being co-opted for neoliberal purposes, has already been intensively discussed, and will not be pursued further in this contribution. That said, revisiting some aspects of the financialization debate does seem fruitful to me, so as to open up new perspectives on the relationship between art and uneven development within cities..."-- provided by distributor.
