ARTWORK, a project by Chicago-based Temporary Services. Well worth getting a copy of this newspaper which challenges, documents, proposes and otherwise stimulates thought about alternative economies in the arts. With essays, personal stories and re-presentations of historical artworks, this is excellent food for thought, arising as it does out of the current climate which in the US is seeing the collapse of the art market, and in the UK a significant shrinking in public-sector investment in the arts, whether the government changes or not.
