Art isn't just about creating work anymore. Today, external pressuresand constraints play a large role in the artistic process and production.In recognition of this reality, the Institut für Kunstkritik held a series ofconferences in 2006 and 2007 to explore the value system that resultsfrom what they dubbed the New Spirit of Capitalism and to confronttheoretical models with ad-hoc conditions of production. The thoughtsof conference participants Luc Boltanski, Sabeth Buchmann, TimGriffin, W.J.T. Mitchell, Sighard Neckel, Martin Saar, and Paolo Virnoare compiled in this book of questions and dilemmas for today'scultural producers and society at large.
