Fabryka kreatywności i podmiotowości
The Factory of Creativity and Subjectivity

Summary/Abstract: Agata Siwiak covers Bojana Kunst’s book "The Artist at Work: On the Relationships between Art and Capitalism" published in Polish in 2016 by the Zbigniew Raszewski Theater Institute and the Theater Confrontations / Culture Center in Lublin. Kunst’s main premise is to rethink the entanglements of critical art and political involvement in an economic system that imposes hyperproduction on artists’ work, which remains precarious. Siwiak stresses the publication’s value as an important voice in the discussion on institutions, the state of the artist, the curator, and the viewer in the era of cognitive capitalism. She does point out, however, the radicalism of some of Kunst’s theses, which might put the reader on guard.
