In Joerg Haider’s province in Austria, he is his own culture minister. Haider has two rhetorical enemies: foreigners who sponge up social benefits, and artists who crave subsidies and then refuse to toe the line. Herr Haider believes that art should be for the people. Avant garde artists have lost commissions because their work is too modern. What do people want? plenty of folk music. Herr Haider’s cultural adviser is Andreas Mölzer, whose view is that artists “behave like whores”. – The Times (UK)
