Art Following the Trend? Artists' Voices is 'a discursive on- and offline installment on the roles and positions of the contemporary artist in the society she/he lives in.'

It evaluates the results of the survey Art Following the Trend? Artists' Voices conducted by kanonmedia amongst international and Austrian artists on their self-understanding and definitions of their roles and functions in society as well as on their earning capacity and a research on contemporary developments of Creative Industries culture policies on EC- and national level.

Art Following the Trend? Artists' Voices is based on video interviews with artists, a survey questionnaire and analysis. The study also discusses the EC Lisbon Guideline on Creative Industries in relation to research results out of the field of Cultural Studies.

The study is only available in German, but more context in English is available via the external link below.
