Martha Rosler's Hermes Lecture addressed the social and political position of visual artists in the context of Richard Florida's model of the “creative class” - a model that is increasingly embraced and adopted by local politicians and city governments. How will it affect the arts when the presence of artists in a city or urban region is primarily seen as a catalyst for economic growth? To what extent is the design-based model of the creative industry something in which the autonomous visual artist can flourish without problems? Does the triumph of the creative class stand for the long-awaited social emancipation of artists, or rather for their instrumentalisation and functional subordination?
