"The final word of power is that resistance is primary." (Gilles Deleuze)
Progressive art institutions function both as buffers against the influence of state and capital on critical art practices and as machines of a soft instrumentalisation of resistance. In the neo-liberal transformation process of the welfare state the institutions seem increasingly to be losing their role of fostering radical art practices: along with the financial constraints, the financing bodies exert an increasingly direct influence on the programs. What are suitable strategies and alliances between artists, art institutions and progressive cultural policies, which are able to reinforce the little onsets of artistic critique in the age of dissolving welfare states?
