Analyses of contemporary forms of public life reveal that they increasingly often include the presence of various artistic activities. The traditional image of artists, in which they are largely identified as passive observers of the public sphere, must more andmore frequently be confronted with the growing aspirations of contemporary artists in the sphere of civic communication. The article’s main aim is to show how theoreticians outside the art world support this trend through the fashionable discourses of contemporary humanism that try to define the role of art in public life. In their endeavours, artists acquire advocates among recognized representatives of the academic world: for instance, Pierre Bourdieu, Rosalyn Deutsche, or Chantal Mouffe, to name a few. The intellectual support granted to artists today plays an unusually important role in creating their public missions, to which the intellectuals are happy to add their names. Taking inspiration from the work of Michel Foucault and Nikolas Rose, the author proposes that tne intellectualisation of art should be considered a new version of ‘power-knowledge’.

Scandals can occur in various spheres of life and can involve customs, religion, politics, or art. Of course, these aspects are sometimes intertwined, but the author’s considerations here concern primarily scandals related to art, both real art scandals and media scandals, their manifestations and effects. The underlying premise is that an art-related media scandal is kitsch in reverse - that is, a marketing action intended to help the functioning of the art market. Under the impact of provocations and media scandals, the system of art’s functioning is undergoing a profound transformation. Although scandals bring art (or at least some of its manifestations) into wider social circulation, it is an extremely trivial and superficial circulation; above all, it is not always adequate to the value of the art offering.
