The ABC of the projectariat is a groundbreaking exploration of the pervasive issue of precarious labor within the contemporary art field. Serving as both a critical analysis and a practical handbook, it addresses and engages with the vast community of artistic freelancers worldwide. Presented in an accessible ABC format, the book strikes a remarkable balance between practicality and theoretical depth, with the analysis supported by firsthand experiences, the arguments grounded in concrete examples, and practical suggestions for constructive action.
Roughly half of the entries in the book delve into the structural foundations of projects and circulation, unveiling characteristics such as opportunism, neoliberalism, inequality, fear, and cynicism as the underlying factors contributing to the projectariat's condition. This analytical discussion is complemented by a practical account of various modes of action, including art strikes, productive withdrawals, political struggles, and the development of better social time machines.
Similar to the proletarians who stood up against oppressive chains, the projectarians are determined to resist the constraints of deadlines and reclaim their autonomy and control over their work. The ABC of the projectariat is a vital resource for artists, activists, and anyone interested in understanding and addressing the challenges faced by the projectariat in the contemporary art world.
