Economies
The embrace of commodification as a primary principle of society encourages us to value everything via its marketplace exchange-value. This results in the conflation of monetary and artistic worth. In statistics, when correlations between variables appear it’s tempting to assume that one causes the other. However, correlation does not imply causation. To many of us, it seems obvious that the market position of a particular artist bears no connection to their artistic validity. This is because of the various capitals an artwork possesses, its financial value is not necessarily tethered to any of its other values.
The artistic landscape is strewn with creative practices that have traded credibility for financial viability, but to cast creativity and economics as oppositional is to do no favours to either. the Spring 2018 issue of the Sluice magazine is our first thematic edition, in it we aim to pull apart what ‘economy’ can mean for the non-profit sector as well as examine both financial, conceptual and ethical modes of sustainability.
