Art|Advertising|Art
September 18, 2020
An unexplored middle world
Throughout history, the two relatives of art and advertising have shared visual contexts. The relationship has been tense and at times there has been a struggle for interpretation. But what unites them is that both work and relate to mass media phenomena and developments, and that they exploit and develop the possibility of mass communication and personal messages. In the tension field that arises between the two, we can enter an unexplored middle world where the uncertainty of what is what can become a driving force for creativity. The contradictions and similarities give rise to a discussion about freedom of speech, creativity, commercialism, realism, vanity and dreams.
