Something I've been thinking about since the Create Streets "degenerate art" thing this morning: visual culture needs to know this trad ideology is coming for it. Architecture is well aware of the neofash, but it's not really come to contemporary art. This suggests it's coming. https://twitter.com/willjennings80/status/1291618691931688962

There has always been the "Turner Prize isn't art.Tracy Emin's bed. My 4 year old could do better." etc, but this government will do to art, film, culture, music, community what Norman Stone did in the 1980s. They are coming for all our values, architecture is just a big start.

It is not a reach to think the government will put their people into ACE etc, or change rules so that a percentage of funding has to go on "traditional" or "beautiful" art/exhibitions or work which acts as ethnonationalist propaganda. Artists, stay alert. Stand with architecture.
