What is the missions of a progressive art institution today?

One of the "missions" of a progressive art institution today is therefore to create new communication networks, both within its local environment and in a broader sphere, with other networks in what is called "transversal linkage." This takes no predetermined form, but is constituted on the basis of events, various alliances or associations and temporary organizations, and relates, in its underlying idea, to the production of other subjectivities.
Is that true?

It seems to me that having a "mission" determines future action and thereby limits creativity. Beyond that - dunno I just paint stuff. I believe my jeep has a transvesal linkage somewhere.

I beleive that if we look to our feet we will find our soul.
I think your mission position is well grounded.

I had a look at Milan's website and would have to confess I don't understand the art - there seem to be a range of very similar drawings with totally different explanations (EG the effects of environmental degradation in the Mediterannean, or The Devastating Effect of Capitalism. One drawing is blamed on Opera. Fair enough, THAT I can see)

Maybe the entire site is an installation...

Hi marri, I am new to this forum. Your site is really good and different.

Thanks manjulan..... um..... I don't have a website. Unless I made one and forgot about it (not an impossible scenario).

What would that do? What is the point if it takes no predetermined form?

If you wanted to have a progressive art institute, surely you would want to show artworks that have something important to say about society or life? After all there are big catastrophic changes taking place in the world. Wars, oil spill, growing economic distress with living standards in reverse, the sheer criminality of those at the top who create a global economic crisis and get rewarded with trillions in bailout money. These are not small things and would add something extra, a supplementary dynamic to an artists work.

After all the progressive oil spill institutions, cannot progressive collectives of living beings decide based upon their own conductive intelligences that said oil spills are representive of the instigators subconcious artistic geniuses ?

we can infer that their "mission" is to shock the art world into galvanised action and create works actively impulsing differential community linkages to subsume society and create relevant social commentary in the form of nascent pollution mollecules, leaving a lasting impression on thinking generations to come

and also this is whats wrong with the art world

milan your work is rubbish

not in the literal sense, but in the diminutive form of the implication of the word

it is subltle yet furiously different, content to hold its own against the deafening tides of similar looking crap

the sheer gall and strength that you show, baring your amateurish yearnings to be a "real" artist an the net for all to see is art in itself.
as the great manjulian said "Your site is really new and different, and opens new worlds to me"
progressively leading others to follow your path, as a shining leader you forge on through the unknown, right in the qquestioning implied in your work of whaaat "Real art" is

your "four dots boringly alinged next to each other" series reminds me of five hundred other sh1thouse paintings that I saw at the Arvada Park Drive in Awards and thus catapaults it into the stratosphre of meaningful art, asking the long hard thrusting questions like "what the hell are the rest of us with talent doing trying to make money out of this" and "where can I buy more cheap sh1t acrylics"

the only real aproblem I have with your art , If I may be so bold as to say, is you
quite possibly you art could stand as a shining beacon for the sum worth of humanity if only you would relinquish the reigns and hand it over to one of many bored housewife grannies who are trying despreately to paint exactly the same thing and you yourself hide in the curtains and pull strings , being the artitect of this steaqming pile of awesome

finally sir, Ive run out of breath, so progressively using my inferred projection of gratified analysis, I beseech you to accept my fondibulous regards as a better man than me , as having gleaned with my olfactory nerves the subtle meanings and learnings of your work via the technologically connected communication medium of the day, I willingly admit that I could in no way pull off the same crap that you appear to be doing on a daily basis
