The series was created during Werker’s Public Research Residency: On Erasure and Invisible Labour at Looiersgracht 60 in Amsterdam in March 2023. It has been produced as an on-going research into alternative economic models to support collaborative art practices. The conversation surrounding this model is based on fair remuneration and redistribution of resources for artists, communities, collectors and galleries and takes in consideration the larger ecology in which collaborative art practices function in the art world.
