Is This the End of Contemporary Art As We Know It?

Artist Liam Gillick and a writer for ArtReview, J.J. Charlesworth talk about the changes brought by the pandemic and the many ways that everything will most likely remain the same. Interestingly, they examine the beginning and end of “contemporary art” and the complex web of economic, social, political and cultural factors that are shifting and breaking down in different ways from our current crises.   In the end, the feeling that art will survive but the idea that this particular period of art and the art world has reached its end is contemplated.
