The intra-acting reality of art-workA proposal for a multidisciplinary approach

subject

description

Artikkelissa ehdotamme lähestymistapoja, joiden kautta taiteilijoiden työtä voisi tutkia olennaisena osana taidetta ja prosesseina, joissa taiteiden erityispiirteet, tekijän subjektiivinen kokemus sekä erilaiset sosioekonomiset ja poliittiset tekijät aina yhteismuotoutuvat. Artikkelia motivoi oletus siitä, että uudenlaiset vuoropuhelut taiteen- ja työn tutkimuksen välillä edistävät merkittävästi ymmärrystä taiteellisen työnteon luonteesta, nykymuodoista ja tulevaisuudennäkymistä. This article develops perspectives through which artistic labour could be studied as an essential part of art, as well as processes in which specific artistic practices, the worker’s subjective experience and socioeconomic and political aspects continuously intra­-act. Our exploration is motivated by the assumption that new dialogues between artistic and labour market contexts and related research perspectives can significantly advance understandings of art as work: its current and emerging forms. To achieve this dialogue, we propose a threefold conceptual approach at the intersection of studies of art and (changing) labour markets. The first aspect of the approach suggests a specific definition of art as work, whereas the second one builds on new materialist theories and the third upon the social theory of Christophe Dejours. The threefold approach is discussed throughout in relation to the empirical reality of contemporary, precarious, work in the arts. peerReviewed
