Art Embedded in Social Contexts

There stands art, pure and utterly detached from social and cultural contexts Uh-oh, here comes some more clunky symbolism lumbering up the mountain Wow, turns out the production of art is embedded within social, cultural, and economic contexts. Whodathunkit? “EmBEDded”, eh? Ha! Heh heh. War and Peas

A four-panel comic shows the word “ART” standing alone on a mountain, then being joined and overwhelmed by oversized letters spelling “MONEY.” The joke satirizes the idea that art can be completely detached from social, cultural, and economic contexts, with “embedded” turned into a literal visual pun. It is sent as a reaction to discussions about art, interpretation, money, and pretentious cultural analysis.
