Art & Labor chronicles the stories of social justice organizing within the arts. We hope to center the human cost of the “art world” and advocate for fair labor practices for artists, assistants, fabricators, docents, interns, registrars, janitors, writers, editors, curators, guards, performers, and anyone doing work for art & cultural institutions.

160 – Living Our Fontosy w/ Popple
We’re back! And we brought the artist and vtuber sometimes known as POPPLE (aka swordsinverted). Get ready for your shift at the pussy eating factory, ’cause we’re on some sort of deranged queer Stalinism kick. We discuss information and cultural preservation work, living in punk houses, big tech in anime, and the escalation of the … Continue reading "160 – Living Our Fontosy w/ Popple"

159 – Fire in the Disco
A return to definitely a type of form, the Galleria caucus of Art and Labor (OK and Sarah) reckon with the eternal struggle of Knowing They Did A Gentrification To Bushwick. You, reader, however, are now yourself trapped in my web, unable to stop passively reading this sentence, which is that Kylie Minogue always has … Continue reading "159 – Fire in the Disco"

155 – Jackass Cultural Studies w/ Sean J Patrick Carney
Fresh off an empty post-industrial mall cinema viewing, we discuss the Gesamtkunstwerk Jackass Forever with lauded expert in the field of suburban whiteboy studies, Sean J Patrick Carney (@ripcytwombly.) We’re clearly very psyched to have the original “I’m Ira Glass. Welcome to Jackass” on the show to wax insanity about queer theory, masculinity, PTSD, and … Continue reading "155 – Jackass Cultural Studies w/ Sean J Patrick Carney"

Good Art Friends
Lucia, thank you for domming me into leaving a review.
Thank you!
This podcast rocks! I have been a listener since 2019 and I am a big fan. Lucia and OK (Sarah and Darcie now too) are super evolved in the way they think about art and politics. You have been educational for me about labor politics and aesthetic issues. As someone who studies studio art in college, this podcast helps me grapple with topics that get talked about by professors and people online who are versed in art history and contemporary art. It also helps me position myself in the world as an art worker which never gets talked about at my school (how art exists in the world outside of college). Lucia and OK are critical about the stuff they talk about and their ideas are deeply thought out. I appreciate being able to learn from you guys and recommend this podcast to anybody.
