Much evidence suggests that a fundamental reordering of artistic production and a transformation of the art field are about to take place. Heated debates have been sparked over new forms of work, public subsidies, and the expanding impact of the creative industries. Independent education programs, self-organized urban planning, artistic practices in the outer field of scientific research, and similar initiatives have unfolded over the last few years. This publication addresses this wide field, focusing on theoretical reflections and exemplary insights into alternative artistic working models. The anthology assembles expert studies and artists' interviews, in order to reflect on new forms of practices that have been established beyond the exhibition-gallery nexus and hegemonic market activity. These strategies in particular are investigated concerning their selfimages, organizational structures, networks, and economies and the potential for usurpation.

Rezensionsnotiz zu Die Tageszeitung, 19.12.2013
Als instruktive Lektüre empfiehlt Rezensentin Brigitte Werneburg diesen ausschließlich auf Englisch verfassten Sammelband, der in verschiedenen Beiträgen die Frage erörtert, ob es eine Kunst jenseits des Marktes gibt. Auch Künstler kommen zu Wort wie Hans Haacke, Oliver Ressler oder Christoph Schäfer, die es allesamt mit der Kapitalismus- und Kunstmarktkritik ernst meinen. Folgefragen stellen sich, deren Antwort nach Auskunft der Rezensentin in dem Band erörtert werden: etwa wovon denn die Künstler leben sollen, wenn sie jenseits des Marktes agieren. Naja, und dann gibt's da noch den ganzen Rattenschwanz von "Kunst- und Kulturstiftungen, Forschungseinrichtungen, Thinktanks und Kulturgremien", die natürlich auch von den kritischen künstlerischen Impulsen leben können wollen und in dem Band laut Werneburg eine angemessene Würdigung erfahren.
