It seems as if the artistic landscape cannot ever contemplate nationhood unless it is couched in the terms of environmentalism, sport or some wider meta-issue. And these fall back too often on lowest common demoninator approaches, such as John Thakara noted in his blog about climate change reporting becoming something like a new pornography.
