Goodbye Poverty Jetset: How Art Workers Make Solidarity Economies
Sepp Eckenhaussen
Each chapter in Goodbye Poverty Jetset focuses on one alternative model that artworkers already practice, including commons, co-operatives, community currencies, basic income, infrastructural critique, fair payment guidelines, economically responsible art education, and social unions. A combination of case studies, theory, and historical reflections provide solid strategic insights into what works for the workers and what doesn’t.
This book is a toolbox for artists, designers, museum guards, curators, writers, tour guides, and art handlers – in short, for all the artworkers who want to change the system they live and work in, collectively.
