Working Girl (eBook, ePUB)

On Selling Art and Selling Sex

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Working Girl explores the worlds of sex and art, asking what happens when both become subordinate to the marketplace. In this searching and provocative inquiry, Sophia Giovannitti describes her own experience as a sex worker and artist trying to make a living and a life. Casting a cool eye on the contemporary art scene and a precarious work environment, she argues that we can find new ways to live and spaces - however small - of freedom.

Rezensionen

Highly original and unnervingly smart, Working Girl strips bare the worlds of art work and sex work, revealing unlikely parallels. In Giovannitti's informed and elegant analysis, sex and art come soaked in capitalist relations, their potential for holiness no barrier to the all-encompassing reach of commodification. Working Girl is fascinating in its specificity - the product of Giovannitti's lived experience in a particular niche of both industries - and through this comes a treatise that is both hopeful and new.
