Abstract or Description
A discussion between Tirdad Zolghadr and Suhail Malik that aims to help artists understand themselves as institutional actors within the field of art without defining this institutionalisation as an intellectual loss or strategic compromise. The contention is that artists who drop the guard of personal self-protection and cease to emphasise individual self-interest can now access the real prerogatives that contemporary art has to offer. In Zolghadr’s terms, the proposed move is from “quarry as victim” to “quarry as mine or reserve”; from the pathos of hunted prey to contemporary art as a resource to be mined collectively.
