Personal Economy #4

Three years ago I quit my job of seven years and left my apartment. The one bedroom apartment in Humboldt Park (a somewhat affordable Chicago neighborhood) and the full time job at The Museum of the Art Institute of Chicago were dependent on one another. I spent a lot of my time at work concentrating on my own art, corresponding, writing, researching, and various other digital tasks. Among my immediate co-workers there was a conspiracy to maintain a level of autonomy in the office by helping each other get the job done, keeping the department in good standing with the rest of the museum, so we would all be able to spend more time working on our own projects.
