OK. If I understand you correctly you are saying that Society, Art and artists got lazy and began confusing the various threads that make up contempory Art. Furthermore, that this 'corruption' is a direct(ish) result of the commercialization of modern society including Art.

Is there a way forward out of this malaise for all concerned in the equation? I am reminded that it is not the first time in Art History that artists have found themselves in this situation. At the begining of the Modern era they saw themselves as having the task of changing society. They were the avant-garde. It is their world we live in.
