Art Workers Material Conditions and Labour Struggles in Contemporary Art Practice Editors: Minna Henriksson, Erik Krikortz, Airi Triisberg What are the material conditions of contemporary art production? Why is exhibition practice based on the unpaid labour of artists? Why do artists pay to make exhibitions instead of getting paid? Why do art workers have no health insurance and social security? How to struggle against precarious labour? What are the historical and contemporary models of art workers organising? The publication Art Workers Material Conditions and Labour Struggles in Contemporary Art Practice presents research on the economic and social situation of art workers in the contexts of Estonia, Finland and Sweden. By analysing issues such as unwaged labour, gallery rent and social security, the publication addresses a composition of problems that are frequently framed as constitutive aspects of precarity in contemporary art economy. In many contexts, precisely these problems have served as entry points into public debates and collective practices of self-organisation. The contextualisation of labour struggles and resistive practices forms the second emphasis of the book, mapping out contemporary and historical forms of labour organising in the realm of art and social movements. The publication is edited and co-written by Minna Henriksson, Erik Krikortz and Airi Triisberg, and includes further contributions by Corina L.

The publication Art Workers â Material Conditions and Labour
Struggles in Contemporary Art Practice presents research on the economic
and social situation of art workers in the contexts of Estonia, Finland and
Sweden. By analysing issues such as unwaged labour, gallery rent and social
security, the publication addresses a composition of problems that are
frequently framed as constitutive aspects of precarity in contemporary art
economy. In many contexts, precisely these problems have served as entry points
into public debates and collective practices of self-organisation. The
contextualisation of labour struggles and resistive practices forms the second
emphasis of the book, mapping out contemporary and historical forms of labour
organising in the realm of art and social movements.
The publication is edited
