If you are an Art Technician (including handlers, fabricators & studio assistants) then you will be wanting to respond to a new survey on your rates of pay.

Only be revealing the full extent of exploitation in the world can it be changed; if we want a more diverse payment is a key issue... and not just for !

Translation: "You need to give the whole world your artwork for free with no financial recompense".

If you work or have worked in the art world and think esotericism, alternative medicine etc. is dangerous, wrong and largely Nazi stuff, a lot of it really isn't that funny as for many other people. Serious ´, and this is really awful most artists I met, people around believe in this shit"!. This is a real problem. This is really no fun. Also this is also a bigger reason than they might realize that buyers don't take them fully "human" or sane... just special.

This week I've been mainly reading, no. 84.

Sadly Wolf Mankowitz's satire on the , Exquisite Cadaver (1990), while containing some great satire of the & the way in which can be compromised by fakes, fails to really hold the (this) reader's attention. Told via dead dada & surrealist ' ghostly narrative, alongside a 'hard-boiled' semi-art-crime story & some faux documents, its disjointed character never quite coheres but offers some wry moments

This week I've been mainly reading, No. 78.

Preparing for an & course I am (re)running as a retired visiting lecturer, I've been considering Amy Whitaker's Economics of Visual Art (2021) for students. Its a breezy, largely successful attempt to get the sociology of art & economics to intermesh, which balances some good exploration of economic issues with examples from the . Although (perhaps) a little to US in focus, it remains an instructive read.

Rather illuminating investigation into the ways the rich .001 percent use political influence and valuable art collections to limit with little public benefit. No wonder people are so skeptical about the . newsie.social/@ProPublica/1107

meanwhile in the (or at least that part of the world of art occupied by ) the same of ultra-expensive art works seems unaffected by the that the rest of us are living through...

The 'art as an asset class' crowd seem to be happily investing in even as the world burns - well at least they will have some lovely things to look at as the burns their gardens & approaches their mansions

This week I've been mainly reading, No. 75.

Alicia Foster's Gwen John: Art & Life in London & Paris (2023) is a bit of highly readable (lightly ) revisionist that dismisses the passive story of the to replace it with a tale of a strong-willed seeking her particular place in the . Foster, engages with previous accounts & moves beyond to develop a really plausible account of Gwen John & her work.
Fully illustrated, this is a real treat!

The Q. of appropriation in the is always vexed: is it justifiable use of publicly visible resources, or theft of someone else's work & creativity?

This is a long running debate, but in its latest iteration around Lynn Goldsmith's win against the foundation, the aspect of the Q. around the (re)use of has come into clear focus.

What you think about this case will depend on how you see 'ownership' in !
