Duty Free Art: A Lecture by Hito Steyerl
Duty Free Art is a new lecture commissioned by Artists Space and presented for the first time preceding the opening reception of Steyerl's survey exhibition. It builds a thread of connections between leaked emails from Syrian government accounts and the growing phenomenon of the "freeport" storage facilities where millions of dollars of artworks are held without incurring taxes. As concentrated sites of the dialectics apparent in Steyerl's films and writing, her lectures articulate the notion of the artist as performing image, as producer and as circulator. Steyerl has coined the term "circulationism" in order to describe a state that is "not about the art of making an image, but about post-producing, launching, and accelerating it."
