The Reader is published on the occasion of the exhibition Not Working – Artistic production and matters of class. The publication includes newly commissioned as well as two existing texts by theorists and artists and is thereby a theoretical, literary, and poetic extension of the topic addressed in the exhibition.
‍

Every form, including the artistic, is ground for the negotiation of class relations. A formal language always surpasses the formal: it can be read in relation to privilege and economic contexts that can inscribe and
ultimately permeate materials, thematic concerns, and modes of (re)presentation. What forms do artistic practices assume, and what do they tell us about the conditions of their production?

With contributions by Annette Wehrmann, Dung Tien Thi Phuong, Josef Kramhöller, Laura Ziegler and Stephan Janitzky, Leander Scholz, Lise Soskolne, Mahan Moalemi, Marina Vishmidt and Melanie Gilligan, and Steven Warwick
