Spending some time in Prague thanks to #transit inspired me to talk with Jirka, a professional artist, just when his exhibition about spending time in relation to data on PCs was on at #huntkastner. We talked about lots of things, desindustrialization of labor, synchronicity of humans and machines, free time, self-education. Then I thought something was slightly missing (!), when Valia, Kyiv-based artist, whose art is necessarily a hobby, made a perfect match for this episode. She helped me unveil the invisible zone between leisure and the work of women, the gender-biased aspects in artistic work. Briefly enough, is art still at the core of the twisted ideological relationship between work and freedom? Sharing some thoughts and hoping for feedback.
