FUSE 33.2: Spring 2010

FOLLOW THE MONEY

Amy Zion begins her article in this issue with a discussion of how over the past two years the arts in Vancouver have accessed a lot of money through the funding initiatives of VANOC. She points out that there are very few people, herself included, who have not benefited from VANOC’s patronage. Given this patronage, it is unsurprising that while many artists have been vocal about the impacts of the Olympics on Vancouver communities, many others are conflicted about vocalizing their opposition — particularly since many forums exist as a direct result of VANOC’s funding. Of course, discussing the money in art practice often returns us to the fact that there never seems to be enough to go around (see below) — but following the money raises interesting questions regarding who and what kind of work gets funded and the benefits and problems that come with money: problems that can follow from both having and not having enough.
