Artpolitics.--The size of non-size.--What is content?--Photography as culture.--Filmgoing/videogoing.--The decline and fall of pop.--The idea of a twenty-first century museum.--Utopia.--Post-modern form.
Artculture is a collection of nine essays exploring how art and culture are transformed in the postmodern era. Douglas Davis examines the impact of media technologies like photography, video, and television on artistic practice and audience experience. He challenges traditional ideas of artistic autonomy, arguing that art is always shaped by politics, institutions, and mass culture. The book questions the future of museums, the decline of pop art, and the relevance of utopian thinking in a fragmented, media-saturated world. Davis offers a critical, forward-looking perspective on how art must adapt to a rapidly changing cultural landscape.
