What is Work Worth?

Toronto Free Gallery Presents...
THE BRIDGE DINNER SERIES: WHAT IS WORK WORTH?


“I’d guess that – apart from domestic and care work art is the industry with the most unpaid labour around. It sustains itself on the time and energy of unpaid interns and self-exploiting actors on pretty much every level and in almost every function. Free labour and rampant exploitation are the invisible dark matter that keeps the cultural sector going.”


– Hito Steyerl, Politics of Art: Contemporary Art
and the Transition to Post-Democracy
