Event overview
Part of the Culture Industry Now! series of lectures
How does socially engaged art understand and critique the need for socially engaged artists to make a living from their art?
In this talk, Leigh Claire La Berge will examine how socially engaged artists critique an increasingly wageless society. Using examples from the practices of Caroline Woolard and Renzo Martens, La Berge will explore the relationship between socially engaged art and neoliberal theories of pricing as a form of knowledge.
