ARTIST CONTRACTS is a project space for research, discussions, and presentations that consider how artists utilize legal contracts to intervene in the transactional structures, property relations, and labor conditions that artistic production operates within. It is a space for the conceptualization and implementation of contract-specific actions that respond to the increasingly conflicted relationship between artistic works and producing a livelihood in the art field.

By intervening in the actual legal-economic mechanisms that govern our encounter with art, artists are not solely asserting their rights as artistic interests and practical needs, but are also resisting an expansive legal order that codifies what dominant economic authority has qualified as justice. ARTIST CONTRACTS therefore emphasizes efforts in the art field to engage with other existing struggles over legal property and contract labor in the broader political economy today.
