Art Work: Invisible Labour and the Legacy of Yugoslav Socialism

Katja Praznik

4.9/5 (22495 ratings)

Description:In “Art Work”, Katja Praznik counters the Western understanding of art — as a passion for self-expression and an activity done out of love, without any concern for its financial aspects — and instead builds a case for understanding art as a form of invisible labour. Focusing on the experiences of art workers and the history of labour regulation in the arts in socialist Yugoslavia, Praznik helps elucidate the contradiction at the heart of artistic production and the origins of the mystification of art as labour.This profoundly interdisciplinary book highlights the Yugoslav socialist model of culture as the blueprint for uncovering the interconnected aesthetic and economic mechanisms at work in the exploitation of artistic labour. It also shows the historical trajectory of how policies toward art and artistic labour changed by the end of the 1980s. Calling for a fundamental rethinking of the assumptions behind Western art and exploitative labour practices across the world, “Art Work” will be of interest to scholars in East European studies, art theory, and cultural policy, as well as to practicing artists.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
