The reader is published on occasion of the project Not Working. Artistic production and matters of class at Kunstverein München, which brings together international artists, theorists, and writers who in their work examine the interdependence of artistic production and social class. 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. 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.
Texts & contributions: Annette Wehrmann, Dung Tien Thi Phuong, Josef Kramhöller, Laura Ziegler and Stephan Janitzky, Leander Scholz, Lise Soskolne, Mahan Moalemi, Marina Vishmidt and Melanie Gilligan, Steven Warwick
