An anthology of texts that grew out of the 'Work, Work, Work' seminar in 2012 at laspis in Stockholm. With contributes from 25 artists, art historians, curators, and philosophers, the texts address questions of relationship between work and the production of art. Topics addressed include 'creativity' as a commodity, the role of art and architecture today to impact society, new modes of artistic production, and artist residency as workplace.
