Andy Warhol, still from Empire
Quick question: Can art help save the republic?
I’m not asking whether or not the republic is worth saving, just whether art has that kind of potential. I’m leaning toward yes, for reasons that remain fuzzy in my brain, but maybe that’s just what I want to believe. I know for sure that art can destabilize institutions and remake the world in violent ways — I just wonder if it can also heal and preserve.
