A little research, and I would not have bothered. :) My apologies, I'll respond to what I can agree or disagree on in a more nuanced way in the occasional future.

I think this is probably a gross simplification, but it's often repeated within the industry. When Ian's talking about inclusivity, I think he means bringing more small-scale buyers into the market in order to reward the artists who are trying to make a living. I am not sure what is so "condescending" about this. The famous story is that there are only three individuals in Japan who buy contemporary art.

Nestor Thu, 03 Apr 2008 23:50:20 +0000 http://neojaponisme.com/2008/04/03/101-tokyo/#comment-1438 That is to say, does the 'world' look to Tokyo for 'what's next', casually ignoring the lack of structured commercialism, or is it that 'people' find what's already there inspiring? All this talk of commercializing art and educating the common workers seems so thin and condescending to me. Perhaps I should search out other things you've written to determine why you feel the inclusivity and commercial sectors are good things.
