Webb interviews Marsha Bradfield of Critical Practice, about
#Transacting – a pop-up market made up of over 60 stall holders invited
to creatively explore and produce alternative economies of value. They
discuss free labour, ‘value’ vs ‘values’ and the aesthetics of
participation.<br><br>During my visit, I first encountered a neo-liberal
zombie academic, haunting the market with laments over the demise of an
expensive art-education system, which extracts maximum value from
students, whilst encouraging them to sell their creativity back to the
market. At Becky Early and Bridget Harvey’s ‘Mending for Others’ stall, I
was taught to darn, and repaired a hole-ridden Sonia Rykiel hat. Here,
mending was framed as ‘giftivism’, a way to build or reinforce a social
bond. <br><br><a href="http://bit.ly/1MsQq1t">http://bit.ly/1MsQq1t</a></div></div>
