Presentation and discussion
Book presentation and discussion with Gal Kirn, Jonatan Habib Engqvist, Michele Masucci, Helena Mattson, Lisa Rosendahl, Fredrik Svensk and Cecilia Widenheim.
Describing the relationship of art to work and the conditions of artistic production has long engaged many. Work is a broad concept, the meaning of which has changed radically as a result of the social and technological transformations that have taken place over the past century. What, then, is “work” today and what is its relation to art? What is the position of the artist if “creativity” has become a commodity? How can the artist’s conditions of production be described, and what role can art and architecture play in societal change?
