marx response

the marx article brings up the classic argument for the pro-socialist argument that has existed for a very long time. when viewed from an art context though the idea of production for direct use becomes even more interesting. what if instead of for profit studio and film artists created art that was intended to be used for direct consumption, or use? what would happen then? when u remove the monetary aspect that is ever present in art making and selling, what are you then left with? would the consumers, who were previously customers, and museum goers become artists themselves? if viewed from this economic standpoint the artworld itself would become a mealstrom of artists/consumers who would continuously consume/produce/reproduce/consume art works in an endless cycle.
