Artist to Entrepreneur - Talk Series
With the rise of neoliberalist economy in last decades, the relationship between the creators and financial means of their art practice has been changed rapidly world-wide. The convention of state of personal patronage for art’s survival has been started finding parallels of art practitioners choosing to create their own economic structure. While making it means to support their own art practice they also created opportunities for many others across disciplines. Their own unique art creations, each of such entrepreneurs’ path have been different from the other, forging new avenues of looking at the discourse and its impact in the economy of art.
