"A modest occupation"
curated by Abigail Satinsky/threewalls
March 15 – April 12, 2013
Opening Reception on March 15th from 7-10pm
"Economics, which Lord Keynes had hoped would settle down as a modest occupation similar to dentistry, suddenly becomes the most important subject of all." – EF Schumacher
"A modest occupation," an exhibition organized in partnership with threewalls (Chicago), addresses the intersection of art and economics through the lens of subscription-based art services. Artists and other creative people who organize their lives around the arts have long dealt with the problem, question, and opportunity of money (or lack thereof) in myriad ways by invoking the very same resourcefulness they've applied to making art. Featuring editions and multiples from art subscriptions across the country, this exhibition is an opportunity to look at these works as more than the byproducts of inventive business models. When viewed collectively, they evoke both the spirit of their distribution method and the art behind the network.
Featuring works from Alula Editions (Bay Area, CA); Art Practical Mail Art Subscription (San Francisco, CA); Community Supported Art Chicago; Community Supported Art Philadelphia;
Community Supported Art Minneapolis; The Drop/NOLA (New Orleans); The Present Group (Bay Area, CA); Regional Relationships (Chicago); The Thing Quarterly (San Francisco, CA); and a special reading room in the window space by Silver Galleon Press.
