Progressive Art Institutions in the Age of Dissolving Welfare States

In the institutions of the art field the indissoluble link between power and
resistance, as described by Foucault and Deleuze, is especially evident.
Progressive art institutions try to act as buffers against the influence of
state and capital on critical art practices, but at the same time function
as machines of a soft instrumentalization of resistance.

The essays in the new issue of the republicart web-journal discuss
strategies and alliances between activist art practices and progressive art
institutions that are capable of providing artistic criticism with the small
advantages needed, especially as the welfare state increasingly dissolves.
