‘Method/Assemblage/Work/Labor/Love’ Workshop at 98 Weeks Project Space

Work/Labor conditions have over the past few years become one of the main discussions in the field of contemporary art. In many ways, this is absolutely comical as contemporary art finds itself to be the site of some of the most advanced forms of labor extraction and value inflation on the planet.

Today, the profound ambiguity in how vital energies and productive forces are distributed throughout the lives and communities of people working in contemporary art poses a severe challenge to clarify how it actually works. How do we proceed to a methodology based in concrete cases and artistic production that can lead us to better analyze the heterogeneous economy of art work and labor in art?

The three day workshop “Method/Assemblage/Work/Labor/Love” with 98weeks, Brian Kuan Wood, Pelin Tan, Önder Özengi (LaborinContemporaryArt) is open to anyone is interested to work on mapping economies within the case study of 98weeks.
