kanonmedia untersucht mit dem Projekt Kunst im Trend. Artists' Voices. Rollen und Positionen des/der zeitgenössischen KünstlerIn in der jeweils eigenen Gesellschaft. Insbesondere im Lichte strategischer Entwicklungen von Creative Industries und der damit inzwischen gängig einhergehenden Forcierung des/der KünstlerIn als kulturelle DienstleisterIn, gerne versehen mit Erfolgsmeldungen aus dem Kontext gewerblich/industrieller Produktion, hinterfragen die KünstlerInnen Inhalte und wirtschaftliche Gegebenheiten solcher kulturpolitischen Strategien und ihre Relevanz für die experimentell/künstlerische Arbeit.

With the project Art Following the Trend? Artists' Voices. kanonmedia researches roles and positions of the contemporary artist in the society she/he feels belonging to. A special focus is laid on the strategic developments in the context of Creative Industries and the positioning of the artist as cultural service provider which in the meantime has become kind of a common perspective in contemporary discussion in this context, often accompanied by good news on success stories in relevant industries. The artists reflect the aims and economic circumstances of such strategies of culture politics and their relevance for experimental art production.
