Our #culture is published on platforms owned by commercial #companies. Then who decides what will become established culture?

[Deutsches Historisches Museum @DHMBerlin]

Nur noch eine Woche bis zur Eröffnung von #DHMRoadsNotTaken: Seit heute hängt das Bild „Selbstporträt im Versteck“ des jüdischen Malers Felix Nussbaum aus dem Jahre 1944 im Raum zur Zäsur „Attentat: 20. Juli 1944“. Mehr unter: https://t.co/Z2Q7ARnLyt

I believe #artists and #museums should not work for the masses. Otherwise we end up with a second #entertainment industry.

[Christian Fichtl @Christhefi]

People are throwing food at paintings and the media is all hyped up about it. As a painter myself it would be nice to see a more positive attitude for art 🎨

@carolemadge @DrNWillburger @LMWStuttgart @googlearts I like to believe ancient sculpture was always white. The truth is just too ugly. Sometimes it's better to live in a lie :P

[Christian Fichtl @Christhefi]

By the way: I think there's a lot of political problems like this in Germany.

Fun story:
#Kunsthalle Nürnberg which did exhibit lots of internationally renowned artists (Charline von Heyl, Peter Doig) is feared to have to close. At the same time a lot of money goes towards other "strange" projects. We should talk about where the money is going...

@jess_kordouni @jdoeschner Als Künstler finde ich die politische Instrumentalisierung von Künstlern fragwürdig. Das schadet unserer Gesellschaft. Klimaschutz ist wichtig, aber so zu argumentieren ist destruktiv. Und nein: politischer Aktivismus ist keine Kunst.

@gropiusbau Lol. Art has become a prestigious Instagram background. (◠‿◕)

Damien Hirst burning his artwork is a spectacle. Imo our society wants entertainment. The media (and audience?) don't care about content and are there for the Hollywood effects. However I do like the thought of digital reincarnation.

Interesting thread about politics and art:

[Eva Dou @evadou]

On the dusty shelves of a Fujian library this summer, I came across an essay written by a young Xi Jinping soon after the bloody Tiananmen crackdown in 1989. It was a hint of how the first serious crisis of his career may have informed his worldview. (1/x)

Mattheuer is an amazing #artist. Notice the ideas of separation (fences), struggle for freedom and hope. Very interesting that one of his most critical works was hanging in the Palast der Republik in the #gdr (as far as I know) https://t.co/KeDWP0dlHh

Culture of today means the culture by and for the winners

[Christian Fichtl @Christhefi]

I think cultural development is based on #economicpossibilities. What we see is #creatives producing the same thing over and over again due to #financialpressure. Imo we should reevaluate this situation in order to fight against cultural stagnation (´⊙ω⊙`)！#art #artist

There's a nice exhibition of interesting young artists at Collegium Hungaricum Berlin @BerlinArtWeek . I'll be there!

@ultrademon Everyone is waiting for it ლ(^o^ლ)

[Christian Fichtl @Christhefi]

#painting and #art have become a victim of social media. Today's #artworld is about being a #celebrity and selling design products. Though where's the lasting impact ? 👀
My opinion: we need to get away from fast #consumerism art

[Christian Fichtl @Christhefi]

Just learned about Terry Davis and Temple OS. The combination of programming and religion seems to be rather extraordinary and impressive. Deus ex machina. https://t.co/dyyOztldOH
