It’s funny that cultural industry has always been a target of critics in the west by the intellectuals. People like Benjamin, Ardorno and the Frankfurt school regarded cultural industry as the opposite thing to avant-garde and contemporary art. It’s interesting to notice in China here what cultural industry has become. When the capital comes, it means the time when replication and industrialization enter into culture and collude with our socialist system. Its’ still consultable of the concept being called as collusion or complicity, but they do get involved together. But oppositely, capitalism is repelled in any system oriented by capital as a rivalry, without which contemporary art will find no way of healthy development. Such is a main stream critic in the west.
But in China it’s very interesting that it has become praise, and it seems that after the arrival of capital, Lv Peng holds the opinion that capital is a freedom. However, in China, this capital is acting quite oppositely. It colludes with the country’s system and murders China’s contemporary art completely.(--Gao Minglu)
I think in fact China’s capital is depending on power, and people on capital. Then power controls people through capital. Since art is created by men, so now people are controlled by capital and so does art. If the political reality is not solved, any market economy will transform, because it finally develops a dependent relation of capital to power. Capital is relatively independent in the west, but in China it is not. (--Zhu Qi)
