And so, here we are in 2011. The demand that art address the pressing political questions of our time exists. The cheese morselization of art, along with what Adrian Piper once dubbed ‘Easy Listening Art’ exists, too. In 1990, she wrote: ‘Easy Listening Art provides enough compositional sophistication to engage or titillate one’s visual sensibilities, but its impact is deliberately muted. It is suggestive rather than explicit, soothing rather than demanding. Easy Listening Art occupies its own modest niche in one’s consciousness and does not divert one’s attention from more pressing pursuits. It does not make trouble, instead it makes nice.’5
