Abstract
Abstract The title Precarity or Self-Management provokes me. On the one hand, I can agree that self-management is a way out of precarity, while on the other, this raises the questions of which precarity, whose precarity, which self-management and for whom. Since the temporalities of these two notions are divergent, I feel like time-traveling while staying in one spot the spot where precarity and self-management are bound together by the curatorial gesture of Maska. My metaphor here is predicated on a thesis that in order to analyse the art and the phenomena in art today, one needs to situate them in a twofold social process: one of its streams consists of the economization of politics and the other of the politicization of production. Within the present article I invite the reader to situate both the precarity and the self-management today within that process, as a default condition of making and doing art in neo-liberal capitalist and democratic society. The same goes for many other social practices, such as mass media, the film industry, professional sports, clubbing, education, tourism, etc.
