Former West
Public Workshop "Techniques of Labor Struggles in the Field of Art"
"Art and Labor after the End of Work" - a collaborative project by BAK, basis voor actuele kunst in Utrecht; the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw; and the Free/Slow University of Warsaw (F/SUW) - is a FORMER WEST Public Editorial Meeting that takes as its starting point F/SUW’s case study of labor relations in the arts, The Art Factory (Bęc Zmiana Foundation, Warsaw, 2014).
Part II - public workshop "Techniques of Labor Struggles in the Field of Art"
This session involves the participants who participated in the activist workshop session held in the afternoon and takes the form of a public seminar to discuss the particular problems related to the conditions of labor in the field of art and the techniques of art-related activism. To first introduce their respective practices, participants gave an impulse (and by no means exhaustive) presentation of some of the projects they are involved in.
