I've decided many years ago: if there's a fee being charged to submit my work, NO thank you! If we all did that... Maybe I can pay but is this fair on the ones who cannot? what kind of filter is that?

Considering that, at least in Ireland, nearly 80% of visual artists live below the poverty threshold, charging to submit works (like paying to audition), is perverse!

"How Ireland’s landmark €325-a-week arts scheme changed my life – I’ve never taken it for granted

Out of 8,000 eligible applicants for the Basic Income for the Arts, 2,000 were selected. I was one of them"

How do we know the rich don't like #regulation?

Take the market for #contemporaryart, where they are dominant:
largely unregulated, problems from the #exploitation of #artworkers to the utilisation of art in #moneylaundering, not to forget #artwashing - where art is used to obscure shady behaviour - are widespread

In 2022 a Code of Conduct for Contemporary Art Collectors was launched, identifying such practices as unethical - it'll be interesting to see what effect this has!

RICHER, SHARPER, MORE IMMERSIVE

To mark the first week of the slow easement of lockdown in Greece and to draw attention to the plight of all art workers (painters, musicians, actors etc) both here and across the world, I am pleased to announce that all the videos on the PHIDOC website have now been digitally remastered to provide a sharper, richer, more immersive experience, especially when played on a PC/laptop connected to a good sound system.

Why this labour of love? “Because you’re worth it!” (LOL)
