arts organizations

That many arts organizations seem to fit to a “t” the professed values of capitalist enterprises should not really come as a surprise, but then what is the source of their rejection from the field of capitalist legitimacy? Is it really just the inability to return a profit? Or is there some other threat lurking there? It should be remembered that the concept of the “non-profit” capitalist enterprise was as much as Che Guevara posters a product of the commodification of the spirit of ’68 and by the close of the “short century” in 1989 had largely imploded.
