Explore what relationships to institutions would look like if everything were more clearly out in the open. Discuss the philosophical and emotional weight of a contract.

If you feel you can speak from experience about “Laws, Contracts, Definitions” we want to hear from you!

More on Art + Value

Art + Value is a series of conversations brought to you by Corner Chicago and Links Hall that will address different aspects of how artists and artistic labor are valued in Chicago today. We hope to create space for Chicago artists to speak openly about how we are compensated and recognized, and how to feel more able to advocate for our work. Our four topic-focused events (“The Ecology of Artist-run spaces,” “Laws, Contracts, Definitions,” “Art vs. Capitalism,” and “Affective Labor“) will begin with a roundtable followed by open conversation.

If you feel you can speak from experience about any of these four specific topics, we want to hear from you! Please RSVP via email to Fontaine at hume.gallery@gmail.com by Friday November 4th.
