After Work
- 2019
-
Other publication (pop. science, debate, etc.)abstract
- Economic stress under wage earning has been abolished. Machines and AI have taken over dirty, heavy and tedious work. Money and social injustice are banned. All the technological resources of humanity can be used to reset the global economy to harmonize with ecology. Free citizens can spend their time in leisure practicing, music, art, and poetry. Visions of the future are already here.But is it a utopia that we are seeing materializing around us or a dystopia? What will happen to people when nobody wants their labor? Does there already exist a firm border between those who have a job, with all that it entails of social and economic benefits, and the people that are on the other side of the fence- the people that have to sell their work by the hour, and who in practice are modern slaves under apps and SMS. Is everything for sale? Can you sell voluntary labour?During this exhibition, these issues are further developed through artworks by Work-a-work.

Artist Salary Now!
- 2018
-
Other publication (pop. science, debate, etc.)abstract
- Should we spend our time filling out forms or making art? was the rhetorical question that acted as a starting point for “Konsnärslön nu!”, an event at Gallery Tegen2 in Stockholm in September 2018. Over a period of a month, a group of artists performed a think tank and a campaign headquarters as a means to provoke discussion. The exhibition also provided space for a series of semi-public talks where the question of a possible basic income for artists was further developed during the exhibition. The talks engaged activists from the universal basic income movement, politicians, researchers, and artists. In this report we describe the ideas behind the project and the discussions that evolved in the talks and interviews with artists. As a result of the project we propose an artist salary as a pilot for a future basic income, a salary that eventually will be for everyone (not only artists). A salary to allow for time to take care of our commons and existential issues. A modest salary based on the modest needs of artists. Unlike a universal basic income, it is intended for a specific purpose, our shared society. And, since we claim that society is an art, it is up to each one of us to define what society is.

Journal article (other academic/artistic)abstract
- “Should we spend our time filling out forms or making art?” was the rhetorical question that acted as a starting point for “Konsnärslön nu!”, a series of events at Gallery Tegen2 in Stockholm in September 2018. Over a period of a month, a group of artists performed a think tank and set up a campaign headquarters as a means to provoke discussion. The exhibition also provided space for a series of semi-public talks in which the question of a possible basic income for artists was further developed. The talks engaged activists from the universal basic income movement, politicians, researchers and artists. In this report we describe the ideas behind the project and the discussions as they evolved in the talks and interviews with artists. As a result of the project we propose an artist’s salary as a pilot for a future basic income, a salary that eventually will be for everyone, not only artists: a salary to allow for time to take care of our commons and existential issues. A modest salary based on the modest needs of artists. Unlike a universal basic income, it is intended for a specific purpose: our shared society. And, since we claim that society is art, it is up to each one of us to define what society is.
