Dirty Librarian Thoughts

QUEER CONSUMPTION OF ART, VISUAL CULTURE, & RAMBLINGS OF MY LIFE

Klaus Biesenbach, Director of MoMA PS1 and Curator at Large at MoMA, featured in the Wall Street Journal

Art is not the art market. Art history is not the history of the art market. Art is about ideas and civilization, and yet too often it’s marginalized by the market in America, censored in China and it suffers from too much affirmation in Europe. The art market is not something that really interests me. There’s a huge difference between a bookstore and a library; both love books and writers, but you wouldn’t ask a librarian why he isn’t a bookseller.
