“The art world needs to be questioned…We don’t need to get rid of [it], it has a robust history, the art historical narrative, it’s fine, but things need to be challenged. Alternate structures need to exist alongside it.”
Every creative laborer has a different story to tell about how they negotiate their relationship between their creative work and their paycheck and how they balance their lives to sustain their creative practice. In Make/Work, Scott will speak with emerging and established artists working in a wide range of creative mediums about how they survive, how they make a living, and how they maintain their work over the long term. New episodes will be released every other Thursday.
