Closure of New Art Gallery Walsall would be a devastating blow

Text from Cultural Dictators 2016/18

If you break down and translate what Alistair Hudson is saying - he knows that artists are being manipulated/abused  by gallery directors and the market and that he wants to participate in this abuse with a version that takes artists out of the equation and gives licence for invention where gallery directors become authors. https://goo.gl/tVbG5E Jonathan Watkins an early adopter of Alistair Hudson useful art Watkins is pushing the boundaries with what he can get away with the knowledge that  Nicolas Serota is in control of arts funding means that directors have licence without boundaries.

Alistair Hudson is stating we should trust in the art gallery director/curator because they know best it is not the artist that influenced the construction of contemporary art galleries across the United Kingdom it is the art historian looking for a way out a mundane life as a lecturer these buildings give them a porous a collective that uses a space to racially select/abuse and feed the commercial art market Alistair Hudson exists in his own bubble - there is a simple formula that contributes to the progress of society it called the distribution of wealth  Alistair Hudson is a director of a public funded gallery and a signatory of a system that diverts monies from hospitals and other public services into art spaces  https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2016/nov/30/closure-of-new-art-gallery-walsall-would-be-a-devastating-blow
