Artists have always taken on the responsibility of reflecting on and manifesting the many facets of life. It is no different today. What is new is the speed and breadth at which life lives now. Increasingly, contemporary life has been dominated by the progress of a socioeconomic globalization that has woven an unprecedented and ever-expanding network of production and exchange between people, territories, and cultures. And what has emerged is a social and sensible reality that values above all else the power of interdependency, as both an ethical substance and a material goal. Contemporary art gives expression to how we welcome, ignore, resist, or try to change the forces that push this reality into and over our lives. The best works do this all at once. This is what art of the moment always tries to do: capture a flash of friction in time and make it burn as bright as the night is long.
