“Rent” describes the temporary relations of humans with things around them. Items that are redistributed by humans cannot be owned and are not created by humans from vacuum, because humans merely use and adapt those things according to their needs. Therefore, in this process, humans borrow these things and must pay the rent. Stuart Koop proposes a thesis that contemporary art also practices renting between ideas, references, rereading and interpretations. In this presentation he tests that thesis in the social landscape of contemporary art in Australia.
