NOTHING is more subversive than showing other workers the pleasures in not engaging in productive labour

discordion {Artist Ian Pritchard}

(referring back to Socrates/Plato – The Republic and artists)

“… the office of the artist is ambiguous, it is like a phantom profession, one that permits the artist to simultaneously work and not work, to have a real job and a fictional job and NOTHING is more subversive than showing other workers the pleasures in not engaging in productive labour (Jaques Ranciere).”
