REVOLUTION, RVOLUTION, REVOLUTION, ...

The subject of reflection in the following text is the condition of contemporary revolutionary art (identical with the concept of critical art) that grew out of the heritage of the theory and practice of the avant-garde, understood as a politically conscious activity and democratic responsibility. The question about its contemporary status must - by its very nature - emerge from a bipolar perspective outlining, on the one hand, its commercialized marketing ``value'' (of revolutionary art), and only on the other hand, its ability to shape contemporary history. The essence of the revolutionary character of the contemporary Artist-Intellectualist is constantly rooted in his/her subversive democratic and civic attitude, and also in permanent vigilance in face of the danger of losing the visual acuity of the historical horizon.
