‘A zone of freedom?’ discusses how contemporary art seems to exist in a zone of freedom, set apart from the mundane and functional character of everyday life, and from its rules, conventions, and bureaucratic procedures. The relationship between free trade and free art is an important consideration here, in that the economy of art closely reflects the economy of finance capital. As financial power has shifted between nations, so has the art market. It is important to note how the current face of the contemporary art world was forged by the global events of 1989 and after, this has resulted in the emergence of political art and the rise of ‘installation art’.
