Public Knowledge: The hidden hands of artistic (re)production

The myth of the artist working alone in the studio overlooks the contributions of many uncredited workers involved in the production, circulation, display, and maintenance of artworks. To highlight their contributions, participants—including academics, practitioners, and art workers—will share their experiences and explore historical practices across various facets and geographies of the art world. They will address contemporary issues facing art workers today and their historical precedents before opening the discussion to the audience.

Participants include Jheni Arboine, Katriona Beales, Matt Browning, Rose Brander, Martha Buskirk, Laura Harris, Dylan Miner, Annie Ochmanek, Friederike Sigler, Gregory Sholette, Nizan Shaked, and Kuba Szreder.

Organised in collaboration with Dave Beech (Chelsea College of Arts) and Dani Child (University of Manchester) and supported by an AHRC Network Grant (Mapping Creative Labour in Contemporary Art).
