I'm happy to give an insider's perspective on what happens here. very very little of the bureaucracy and public works are publicly accessible information, like the fact that there's a decent hospital with medical imaging and MDs on site.

the media only reports on "dirty hippies rained out" and Twitter boosts awful techbro shitlords or influencers with Starlinks. I'm in a weird position where I have internet access from the org and can give a perspective that's none of the above. for all the social media panic that people were trapped here and desperate to get out of a himanitarian emergency, only 15% of people actually left yesterday when the gates opened because of how well-provisioned everyone is

ah so pollack was a CIA op

pollack especially largely had his work bought by wallstreet and ny media figures, who were either close to CIA or who essentially comprised and ran the CIA, on or off-book, who used it less for promoting contra-soviet art expressions (which they did, sure) but more to launder vast sums of money and transfer it between their opposite numbers in europe, then vice vera later in his career.

its not so much the CIA invented modern art, which is a claim I've seen made a lot, but that they took a new, sort of niche, anti-(soviet)-realist art movement and blew it the gently caress up so they could move around their drug and nazi money, a thing that they still do constantly to this day, although art is probably less of a vector now thanks to bitcoin etc

it also isn't unusual for upper-class art to be extremely informed and influenced by whoever the ruling class is, and the whole "xxx is all CIA ops" stuff tends to be done by people looking ofr an excuse to dismiss genres of art they don't really like in the first place

In a lot of ways it's the same culture war bullshit as always. Because abstract impressionism was disliked by the soviets we had to love it while still calling every artist a homosexual communist. (The soviets were of course convinced all the artists were homosexual capitalists)

Also worth noting that Abstract Expressionism was used to overwrite the achievements of much earlier Russian/Soviet artists like Malevich or the Constructivists. The narrative of the march towards pure abstraction in modernist art (and implicit in that the supremacy of american culture) is deeply complicated by the Russian avant-garde getting there decades before the Americans. Greenberg is pivotal in all this, his early writings that acknowledge the Russians are often contradicted by his post ww2 writing.
