9.5 Theses on Art and Class
The role Davis sees for himself--an activist as a citizen, and an eclectic, vigilant pragmatist as a critic--isn't too different from what he expects from serious artists. He hopes dedicated makers of art will connect organically with movements that might actually bring about large-scale social change. How that will happen is, of course, the big question, and one that Davis intentionally leaves open. --Dushko Petrovich
