Work After Work is an exhibition and program of events exploring issues of artistic production and labor, and is motivated by a keen awareness of how the current economic situation applies particular pressures on the many connotations of artistic “work.” It is a crucial moment to reexamine the shifting value, both economic and cultural, of artistic labor and to explore the ways in which artists navigate, resist, and reproduce these values. Each of the participating artists in the exhibition implement distinct methodologies for transforming the economic conditions of their artistic activities: from reflections on artistic practice as labor and entrepreneurial venture; to developing practical contracts that enforce artist fee structures; to resisting the speculative art market by offering unlimited multiples; to conceptualizations of artistic service provision, among others. Beyond evidencing economic models, the exhibition aims to reveal the shifts in political and social dynamics that artists face when negotiating the conditions of the production, reception, and consumption of art.
In conjunction with the exhibition, there is a program of artist conversations, panel discussions, screenings, and performances:
Thursday, April 28, 6-9pm:
Opening Reception
Saturday, April 30:
Instruction of Yvonne Rainer’s Trio A by Sara Wookey, 3pm

Saturday, May 7, 11am:
