Presentation: The ABC of the Projectariat

In this aleatoric performance, researcher Kuba Szreder will address the ups and downs of the artistic projectariat, people who do projects to make a living, talking to and about the throngs of freelancers who roam the global art world. This unpredictable existence will be dissected in a fitting form of aleatoric performance, following a random selection of snippets from Szreder’s upcoming book The ABC of the Projectariat, scrambled by a digital machine programmed by Michał Szota. This discussion is paired with a practical account of different modes of action, such as art strikes, productive withdrawals, political struggles and better social time machines.
