Summary

Can art exist without context? Should it? What responsibilities do we have to ensure that we educate ourselves about its history? This two-part series explores our complex historic associations with ART as a social phenomenon and the role it plays in our lives. Part one explores ideas of attribution and appropriation. Who and what influences art, tastes and contexts. Art is explored through fashion, music, dance, two clocks on a wall symbolising AIDS, paintings, the 2002 Oscar de la Renta collection of cerulean gowns and more.
