Brian Collier and Alison Hatcher (curator a MCAC) have arranged for the display of ART WORK with the current exhibitions. We are really happy that they brought the paper and discussion to central Illinois!
MCAC is in Bloomington, IL. The opening is on January 15. Brett from TS will be in attendance.
A public discussion around the topics in ART WORK is planned for an upcoming Tuesday. Check this web site for more information.
My personal art economics have always included a full time job. I never really understood how to hustle for money in order to avoid the rat race. In addition, my practice takes up a lot of my mental energy and I value the consistency of steady pay. I don’t ever want to have to figure out how to make money to see my projects to fruition. In my previous experience working off the grid, I found that whenever I had a lot of free time I did not have a lot of resources and when I had ample resources the opposite were true.
Art Work is a newspaper and accompanying website that consists of writings and images from artists, activists, writers, critics, and others on the topic of working within depressed economies and how that impacts artistic process, compensation and artistic property. The newspaper is distributed for free at sites and from people throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. It is also available by mail order from Half Letter Press for the cost of postage.
Art Work is being distributed throughout the 50 United States and Puerto Rico (among other locations). To find a hard copy of Art Work near you, please read on.
