A common response to the declaration “I’m an artist” is often: “How do you pay the bills?” “Talking shop” refers to the jargon of specialized work and talking about work during off-work hours. In an effort to problematize this work-centric valuing of time and energy, ARTIST WANTED will use SHOP TALK SHOP search centre as their home base to organize conversations on issues of labour in the arts.
