Description
The author discusses how the labor of an artist has changed in the past few decades, and how this has affected the definition of what constitutes art. He argues that the conditions and status of an artist's work is the most important factor in determining whether or not their art is considered to be valid.
The main affirmation of artistic practice must today happen through thinking about the conditions and the status of the artist's work. Only then can it be revealed that what is a part of the speculations of capital is not art itself, but mostly artistic life. Artist at Work examines the recent changes in the labour of an artist and addresses them from the perspective of performance.
