ART PAPERS 44.01 - Summer 2020

Summer 2020's theme, Living & Working, explores the current state of living and working in the arts, and the unfolding impacts of COVID-19 on those conditions. Artist-texts and interviews address new ways of being alone, being together, and being porous; while one Artist Project cautions, There Will Be Sacrifices Along The Way. An extensive research project tracks the recent wave of museum unionizations, and an essay speculates on the future of funding for arts institutions. The cover art is by photographer Lilly McElroy.
