- Summary:
- "Continuing with our pursuit of the question "What makes great art?", Lauren Wetmore sits down with Greek art historian, curator, and writer Katerina Gregos, in Brussels. Their conversation builds on a quote from Gregos's recent exhibition The Anatomy of Political Melancholy, hosted by the Schwartz Foundation at the Athens Conservatory: "We are increasingly witnesses to the debasement of political language, the infantilization and polarization of political debate; the growth of a simplified discourse that panders to collective fears rather than addressing the real, pressing questions; the lack of accountability from politicians, and of course, 'fake truth' and 'alternative facts'. Clearly there is something profoundly wrong with contemporary politics." What follows is a discussion that exchanges this quote's "politics" for "art," and interrogates the conditions by which we frame political comment in exhibition-making."-- provided by distributor.
