Hi ███, 

The Employee is forthcoming this year from Art Metropole. The publication is of critical texts and first-person testimonials by artists and cultural workers reflecting on The Employee, a year-long conceptual artwork by Joshua Schwebel.

The publication will include texts commenting on the precarity of publicly funded cultural labour and considering long-present fault lines in systems of funding and labour within the creative economy. It will feature texts by Mariane Bourcheix-Laporte, Teresa Carlesimo, Bopha Chhay, Dana Kopel, Michelle Lacombe, Denise Ryner, Joshua Schwebel, Camille-Zoé Valcourt-Synnott, and Marina Vishmidt.

 

The photograph will be featured in the interior of the book, in a text of art historical analysis by Schwebel, which we are happy to provide. The Employee is and English-language book, will have a print run of 400 books and is designed by House9.

Warmly,
Lauren
