In Melbourne, a roundtable discussed the verb ‘to open‘ as a means by which art reveals its own conditions of possibility. The resulting discussion produced the possibility of ‘open source art’, which adopted a Wikileaks style transparency. Information about the labour that contributes to the art work, including activities and payments, would be shared.
Models:
- Who pays artists? is a US website for sharing rates of pay
- Kaye Abude
- Nick Mangan
- Wikileaks
- Sangam Platform Code of Practice for Partnerships in Craft & Design
