Description

Boris Groys's On the New explores the economies of exchange and valuation that drive modern culture's key sites: the intellectual marketplace and the archive. As ideas move from one context to another, newness is created.

This investigation aims to map the uncharted territory of what constitutes artistic innovation and what processes underpin its recognition and appropriation. Groys examines the continuous shifting of the line that separates the valuable from the worthless, culture from profanity.
