Justin O'Connor is a Professor of Cultural Economy at the University of South Australia. In this episode, we talk about his new book, 'Culture Is Not an Industry: Reclaiming Art and Culture for the Common Good'. Justin explains how theoretically poor the concept of the 'creative industry' actually is, and how it has messed up cultural policy in many countries. We then talk about an alternative policy vision: art and culture as a common good, anchored in the foundational economy.

Art in Permacrisis #5: The Budapest Conference Special (w/ Constant Dullaart)
We kick off a new season of Art in Permacrisis with a special episode. In October, we were in Budapest for a conference of media artists and researchers called MetaForumX: PermaCrises. One of the contributions to MetaForum was a podcast created by media artist Constant Dullaart. It's a fresh take on the notion of permacrisis, the development of AI, and the role of art.
Art in Permacrisis is a podcast on the organization of art workers in the face of the ever-growing stack of crises. How can artists make a living without selling their souls? Can we imagine and practice a sustainable art economy beyond precarity? How should we transform the circulation of artworks, the curriculum of art and design academies, the exhibition programs of museums, and the organization of collectives and unions? We invite speakers with combined backgrounds in art, theory, and organizing to share their insights.
Art in Permacrisis is a podcast of the Institute of Network Cultures and Caradt. It is hosted by Sepp Eckenhaussen with tech support by Tommaso Campagna.
