Work for free
There is a feeling amongst remaining Marxists (quite possibly including Terry Eagleton) that if the theory worked out well, everything else will follow it … and as Marx said, “all history has been a history of the class struggle”. This image (2005) from the Performance Project: work for free is a small addition to that struggle, to go against the proclaim system and in a contradictory but inevitability revolutionary – praxis – I offer my work: the creation of any artwork for free. This performance piece is the translation of “a hard theory put into practice” that all persons should be allowed to own any artwork that they desire. Art should reach all persons and so the message and the image should survive time.
