Suggestive of a new chapter in the history of art, this critical text by François Hers and Xavier Douroux, published in booklet form, speculates on the reinvention of artworks and their contexts through new patrons, while simultaneously disregarding today’s capitalist hegemony. With the public as a primary patron of the arts, artists are suddenly faced with undreamed of situations in which the mediators of contemporary art play an avant-garde role, and public grants and private donations provide the means to engage freely in a new experience: the advent of a so-called “art of democracy”.
