Art Work: A National Conversation about Art, Labor, and Economics
by Temporary Services
We've always been inspired by Temporary Services and the larger largely Midwest-centric circles of what for lack of a better term we've tended to call art activism, by which we've meant not just artists working on decorating struggles for social justice, but actively engaging with them, finding ways to bring creativity, experimentation, and affective communication into contemporary activist practice. So we were exceptionally excited to hear that they'd be putting together a free newspaper, to be distributed nationwide, examining the role of cultural work in an age of economic collapse. With pieces by InCUBATE (the primary inspiration behind STEW) , Brian Holmes, Nato Thompson, the City From Below, 16 Beaver Group, Greg Sholette, Lize Mogel, and more (39 pieces in all!) this is some of the best use of newsprint we've seen in awhile? And did we mention it's free? And if we run out of it, you can always download it from http://www.artandwork.us/.
