I'm glad people are mentioning it, because there seems to be a very large group of even otherwise economically and politically aware artists who have no problem with submission fees. While I understand the ideal that even guerilla administrators (curators, fundraisers, pr people, and the like) ought to be respected for their work, perhaps by payments of money or reimbursement for expenses... at the lowest level, one is paying a fee for a service or product that one can execute alone. And why?
But when did it become ok to charge fees, in time?
