| Title | Expressions of 'Venture Labor': Work and the Burden of Risk in Artistic Careers in Budapest |
| Summary | The paper analyses the work of young, experienced arts and design graduates in Hungary, in order to identify the characteristics of creative labor in the cultural and creative industries in Budapest. Based on participant observation and semi-structured interviews I trace how they design their careers by framing the risks of an artistic career in and out of a full-time artist job. Despite the growing amount of research on creative labor in other countries such as the US, Australia, the UK and several Western countries, the topic is barely researched in Hungary. This work aims to explore the field for a future comprehensive research by doing a qualitative analysis on visual artists’ adaptation strategies in finding ways to reconcile their art work with participating in the labor market. Research findings in turn might inform cultural and creative policy formulation in Hungary. |
