Mierle Laderman Ukeles Art and Dissent at the Whitney
The Indypendent Nov 26, 2017
Contemporary political theorist Chantal Mouffe argues that all art is inherently political in that all aesthetic forms can be politicized and all political forms can, in turn, be aestheticized. In looking through this lens, art has the potential to intervene in our social and political realities, disturbing and transgressing established hierarchies of power that govern our daily lives.
Art can be a force for change, presenting activist visions of the underrepresented — minority voices expressing a discourse of liberation and equality. Through a critical consideration of today’s injustices or utopian imaginings for a better tomorrow, the artist and her product present this possibility.
