Mustekala 39: Taide ja talous - Art and Economy

Unfortunately for non-Finnish speakers, only in Finnish, the foremost publication on and around art in Finland, the online journal Mustekala. The latest issue Taide ja Talous has several articles on the topic (Art and Economy). Check it out!

Introduction: "Voiko taidetta ja taloutta sekoittaa vai täytyykö ne pitää tiukasti erillään? Miten käy talouden taikinan kun se kasvaa rajatta? Entä miten käy kun taide lähtee ulos laitoksista ja sekaantuu arkielämän tilanteisiin? Näitä mustekala vatkaa ja leipoo tässä numerossa. Samalla mustekala esittelee ensimmäisenä Suomessa Birgit Jürgenssenin, itävaltalaisen feministitaiteilijan 1970-luvulta."
