Sei politisch! Setze ein Zeichen! Dieses Credo scheint ein treibender Motor der gegenwärtigen Kunstproduktion zu sein. Ob auf Messen, Biennalen oder in Museen: Kunst mit politischen und ethischen Botschaften erzielt eine maximale Aufmerksamkeit, sublimiert die Kunstwelt und lässt Künstlerkarrieren befeuern. Hoch im Kurs sind Themen wie Rechtspopulismus, Donald Trump, Demokratie und die Flüchtlingskrise. Gleichzeitig scheint die künstlerische Freiheit durch Shitstorms und eine neue „Political Correctness“ zu schwinden. Welche Folgen und Gefahren entstehen hierdurch? Wie stellt man Qualitätsmerkmale in Bezug auf politische Kunst auf? Gibt es „linke“ Kunstwerke, die sich auch für rechtspopulistische Weltbilder auslegen lassen? In diesem Themenband wird in Essays diesen Fragen nachgegangen, Gespräche mit Aktivisten, einem Regisseur, sowie Künstlern diskutieren die Rolle der Kunst zwischen Aktivismus, Aufklärung und Engagement. Vor der Omnipräsenz der politischen Kunst stellt sich schließlich die Frage: Kann politische Kunst überhaupt (noch) Menschen beeinflussen? Denn: Nicht jedes politische Zeichen ist auch gleich ein gutes Kunstwerk.
