Mute Vol 2, No. 8 − Zero Critical Content/No Added Aesthetics

With investment in stocks and property now inducing ambient neurasthenia, mainstream investors are allegedly turning to 'alternative investments' like wine and art, not to mention gold. Although art and wine were considered riskier than property in the pre-credit-crunch era, according to one recent article they are now regarded as safer than bricks and mortar. If this appears to spell good times ahead for the contemporary art market, further inspection reveals that a new breed of fund manager specialising in this asset class is looking to 'strip out the risk' by focusing on established artists − or wines. In other words, cultural conservatism will be (even more) the order of the day.
