520 _aWork has become a major topic in contemporary art, reflecting an engagement with labour both as a subject of critical investigation and as a process in the making of art. This ranges from the self-identification of 'art workers' and the formation of work-related art activist groups in the 1970s to critique of neoliberal mechanisms of labour division and exploitation. This anthology surveys work's relationships with art, exploring artistic strategies that grapple with the complexities of being an art worker in the new economy, a postproducer, a collaborator, a fabricator, a striker, an ethical campaigner, or would-be transformer of labour from oppression to liberation. Work is one of a series documenting major themes and ideas in contemporary art--Publisher's description
