Work, Art & a Good Life #1

Lecture and Panel

What is artistic work? What kind of worker is an artist? Could it be a
paradigm for post-industrial work-relationships? And if so, would this
point towards creative liberation or neoliberal self-exploitation? What
utopian potential can we find today in an ?Avantgardist? fusion of art
and life?
