Art Office

On the basis of 150 conversations, cast in ten episodes, Werktitel creates a picture of the art field and the labor problems and issues that people encounter within it.

For this, Werktitel talks to all kinds of people, at every level and of all ages. People in front of and behind the scenes, freelance and employed. These are artists, fundraisers, directors, education staff, interns, writers, slashers, program makers, editors, communication staff, curators, exhibition builders and people who have retired. For example, Werktitel establishes new relationships between workers and sheds light on the stories we tell each other in art from several sides.

The episodes each highlight a different story from the art sector. The podcast bundles and shares the knowledge and experiences of a wide group of people. Werktitel would like to contribute to strengthening the mutual connections in the sector and to strengthen the discussion about a better position and appreciation for work in the arts within and outside the sector.

This project is partly realized thanks to a contribution from the scheme artistic activities in the city† With this contribution, CBK Rotterdam wants to use visual art to make the city more attractive and to give Rotterdam visual artists a role in this, thereby increasing their visibility.
