Re: RHIZOME_RAW: Media Arts for the ICA Web Site

Sounds great, just one thing. As I was looking through the text at the
site linked to from the post, one line in particular caught my eye.

"Please note that there is no fee for the work that is accepted for
inclusion on the web site."

At first I thought, oh good, there's no submission fee. But then as I
re-read it I thought, no, they want artists to give them their work!
Is the ICA really so cheap that they can't pay artists for the work
that they exhibit? Someone please tell me I'm reading this wrong.

If it is the case, that they're not going to pay the artists anything,
then this line *really* tops off the insult:

"The ICA will retain an indefinite non-exclusive license to make the
work available through its website, and retain an archive of all
chosen submissions."

The ICA is supposed to be so important that you should be willing to shell
out money to them to show your work. It's a prestige thing (?!).

Of course, most of us have our own websites and methods of sharing the
work with the rest of the world.

The call looked interesting at first, but then I, as you did, became
turned off by the particular verbiage. The ICA will use the net.show as a
way to secure more grants and such. The artists won't see a penny.
Typical.

So what is an artist to do in these hard days and steep international
competition?

Would you rather that the ICA just purchase one artwork making the odds next
to impossible for many of us to be chosen or would you rather have the field
opened up a bit, allowing for more works of importance to be included into
an institutional collection. Look at the long history of museums and their
acquisitions. Most of the time the works are either donated by the
art/gallery or sold at very discounted rates in exchange for the prestige
that it adds to an artists cv. A springboard of sorts. I'm sure a couple of
the artists will use the opportunity to take their career to another level.

So few new media artists are making a penny from their work. What does it
matter. Get the work out there to be seen by a greater audience. To me it
seems like the ICA is just trying to help the community not hurt it.
Yes they may use the net.show to add to their fundraising activities but any
of the artists that get selected will be able to do the same as well. In
reference to the non-exclusive rights…..well at least they are not asking
for exclusive rights.

Here is a question to pose to the list. How do we create ways of bringing in
money to support the new media community?

Cheers,
Lee

It's great you're having this debate. Lots of new media arts
competitions work in the same way- they call for work and don't reward
the artists for including it in a show or festival, so I don't think
the ICA are behaving very differently. The ICA probably feel they are
helping artists enough by selecting and showing the work (it's a
privelege) but it would be great if they supported artists
financially. Actually lots of competitions do have prize money - why
don't the ICA do that? They can certainly afford it, with all their
corporate sponsorship.

That was my thought. I guess, in retrospect, perhaps it wasn't fair of
me to slam them for wanting to show the work without remuneration. A
lot of institutions do that but what's really pushing the limit is
their, albeit non-exclusive, right to show the work as often as they
please. Perhaps my perspective on this has been distorted after having
spent time in Canada where they have the excellent CARFAC fee system
requiring galleries to pay artists a fee for exhibiting their work.
But none the less, I am still disappointed in the ICA. My art practice
is more than a hobby and prestige doesn't feed my kids.

The ICA get points for trying; points for doing something. But it's plainly
wrong for an organisation such as the ICA to offer no fee; even tokenistic.

Sa, they have one new web project a month for a year, even a token 500
pounds (3-4 days work for on average London wage) is an annual budget of
6000. If they can't secure a grant for that amount then they simply have
employed the wrong people. I'm sure a corporate hire for a night generates
more income than that. There must be a corporation willing to donate 6000
against their tax bill. It's the ICA's responsibly to secure funding to
nurture and develop new talent and new ideas. Their aim to to support "the
best".

If I'm working 9-5 for the average wage [to survive]; I would not have the
energy to conceive - then develop - something worthy of the ICA.

Prestige works both ways if the ICA do their task correctly and pick the
right works: "ICA is home to the best new art and culture from Britain and
around the world." prestige flows back to them in the medium-long term. The
artist gaining the short-term prestige.



My only fear is destined to become something ridiculous - and ultimately
pointless - like the saatchi-gallery website. That, my friends, is a
shameful website in every respect.

Sadly, certainly in the last five years, the ICA has been following trends,
not creating / supporting the contemporary …

Even if they were to get that much together that only allows for 12 artists
to receive the award.

In reference to your energy to conceive and develop something worthy….well
I don't think you are the person they are looking for. They are after those
that have already created something with their blood sweat and tears and now
just need the recognition. 500 pounds would be great but again its only 3-5
days wage any way so what does it really matter to receive the token payout.

You missed the key points I was trying to make though fictional - arbitrary
- examples.

If the ICA was engaged in supporting and promoting open-source work or CC
licensed work, my arguments would be a bit different. But this discussion
was originally started because the are not doing so.


If they support everyone, open to all, no quality control, you end up with a
useless mess: http://saatchi-gallery.co.uk/

You have to be selective to promote quality. Selections being made by those
with the knowledge to. You have to be selective to promote an idea or a
message. Publish everything and what you have is value-less and meaningless.


Recognition; I suggest you meant endorsement. A endorsement that what has
been created is better than others; that it adds to contemporary discussion
more so than most…


A token payment because in a consumerist society everything has a value and
requires money. A token payment allows survival/ resources for the
development of more ideas. (or enough to treat friends who let you sleep on
their sofas).

An organisation, such as the ICA, should wish to help [financially] support
an individual as an investment - and sign of belief /faith - in the reasons
for having originally chose to endorse them. If the artist's work develops
more, then the orgisation's prestige increases in the future, having
supported the artist early on. So the token amount can be seen as an
investment. It also helps develop the future, which the ICA claims as it's
role: "A belief in the new. An enduring faith in the creativity of
tomorrow."

Positively supporting an artist opens the door for the organisation to work
with that individual more in the future. Otherwise, they will favour an
organisation that did.


Ultimately, it's up to an individual to chose to submit work to the ICA; or
not. My suggestion is that the way they have chosen to do this, undermines
their own aims of spotting and supporting the best. The best isn't going to
be submitted in the first place.

The corporate sponsorship thing does seem to be "the rub" here. If it was
some kids working in a basement in Ohio making a net.show I wouldn't think
twice about the situation.

Supposedly the ICA is giving these artists an opportunity to act as a
"springboard" true, but the work put in by those artists could just as
well be spent promoting their work in other, most likely more effective,
methods. For instance sending it on to Rhizome.

Odd to discover in myself that Rhizomes membership fee doesn't bother me
in contrast (though I have not paid in, as of yet). I seem to have a
belief that their services are more valuable to the newer medium artists.
Giving back as much, if not more, than what they are taking in.

As we all do; we give and give and give in terms of making new art happen,
with little compensation in return. At some point you might wonder, why
give to these large orgs with sure footings?


, Emma Quinn

As the curator responsible for this call for submissions, I felt I had to respond to this thread, to try to clarify a few points and raise a couple of questions.

The open call for submissions is a new idea and is an experiment.
I wanted to be able to promote new artists who use digital technology as a medium for their art work and who have not been able to show their work on a public gallery space.

The call was for artists to submit work that they have already created or are close to completing. It’s not a request for artists to create something from scratch specifically for the ICA.

We are happy for the artists to show their work elsewhere after it has been promoted on the ICA web site and indeed for them to show it on their own web site while it is on the ICA web site. All we are asking is that the work submitted hasn’t been shown on a public gallery web site before.

We want to be able to keep a copy of the work so that we can keep an archive of the work we have shown on the ICA web site. As much for our records as anything else. What, if anything, is the alternative to this?
As a point of interest, I have had artists complain when their work or evidence of an exhibition is no longer available on our web site as they use it as part of their CV or Resume - evidence that they have shown work in a public gallery.

This call for submissions is an initiative that runs in parallel with commissioned work both online and in the gallery space at the ICA. Commissioned work does have a fee attached.

A fee for artists for this open call is unaffordable at this time. However we are offering support in terms of marketing the artist and their work via the ICA web site and usual ICA marketing channels. I had hoped that this would be seen as an opportunity by up and coming artists to further their career.

We do not ask artists to pay a fee to submit their work. Would asking for a fee to submit work in order to offer a nominal prize be more acceptable to artists?

Your feedback is much appreciated.

Kind regards
Emma Quinn,
Director of Live and Media Arts, ICA

Hi Emma:

I think what you are doing is great. Not enough institutions are getting
behind cutting edge work in this way. Most artists don't understand the
importance of marketing and the attention that it will draw, if only even
internally at ICA.

Funding in the arts is an issue, especially here in the US.
I wish we had the lottery here as well.
Keep up the good work.

Cheers,
Lee

Hi Emma,
Thanks for responding to this thread. This is kind of a tricky subject
and as I mentioned in an earlier post, perhaps I was a bit hasty in my
original criticism. The thing is that what the ICA is offering with
this call is an opportunity to show your Internet art in the way that
it was intended to be shown. Showing the work on a website isn't a
"secondary" or slightly lower form of exhibition than showing it in
the gallery. I don't know what the norm is for the ICA, do artists who
show their work in the gallery, bands who play, filmmakers who get the
work shown receive some kind of remuneration? If so, then I feel it
would be proper to offer artists showing Internet art on the ICA
website the same. Perhaps I'm wrong. Perhaps the ICA doesn't normally
pay artists for in-gallery exhibitions. As I also mentioned in the
earlier post, I've just moved home after living in Canada for the past
couple of years. The way I understood it, in Canada they have a system
that requires all galleries and art related institutions that receive
any government funding to pay the artist for the exhibition of all
work as per what's known as the CARFAC fee scale. Perhaps this has
distorted my perspective on such matters. It's hard to sell this kind
of work as one might more traditional artwork. I know that in my own
practice a lot of time and money has gone into its development and it
would be nice to get some of that back if it shows itself to meet some
standards of the artworld. In other words, we're not getting paid to
create the work and it feels a bit unfair when institutions that are
receiving funding want to show it without paying us for it as well.

You are correct though that getting the ICA's "stamp of approval" is
worth something even though it has no direct impact on an artist's
deficit. But only accepting the work with free license to show it
again and again goes a bit far. The artist is then essentially
"donating" a copy of the work to the ICA just as if a photographer or
printmaker were to donate a piece of theirs to them.

As far as suggesting alternatives, the only thing I can come up with
is to offer a fee or award.

best regards,
Pall Thayer

The lottery has been raped:
http://arts.guardian.co.uk/art/news/story/0,,2157927,00.html

At least this highlights a previous over dependence.

Sustainability and knowledge are more important than vaporous marketing.

, Joseph Gray

Emma, thanks for having the bravery to respond to all this. I know that
personally I tend to over-react (I'm still a punk at heart), and sort of
hopped on the band-wagon here as well. I, personally, appreciate the
effort to provide internet artists with opportunities, but with certain
caveats.

Certainly the ICA's high-profile could be a benefit to lesser-known
artists. However, after 10+ years as a lesser-known artist working in new
mediums it's easy to feel a bit sensitive about yet another call for art
with no compensation other than self-promotion. I've not been one to seek
out fame, simple acknowledgment from my peers is enough, but if someone is
making money from my labor I would like to see some of it. One can only
be generous in the capacity they have available to them. I donate my time
and expertise intentionally to under-funded projects and organizations.

Asking a submission fee to create a pool of money that will go only to
selected recipients is a tough one to accept from the well-established
ICA. Ultimately, as was suggested earlier in this thread, a small portion
of money (

Hi Lee, Emma & all,

I see the issue is coming from a different level. Emma could expand her
resources and collaborate experience beyond, outside the
complex/building of the ICA and ask for support by others who are
already themselves engaged in the practice, curating, making it, writing
about etc…

For instance, furtherfield.org are only 4 miles down the road - and we
could advise on various matters regarding such things. We are not still
around for 10 years still surviving for nothing, or just because we look
cute (although I would settle for the latter;-)

Really good idea ! I'm just about to send a proposition in reply to the
ICA call for works. I'll also send it to you in CC.

To Whom It May Concern,

I feel lucky and blessed to be an artist and have the opportunity to
create for a living. It is part of my philosophy as an artist to give
back to my community, from local to global. In the last18 months I
have sold some and donated over 30 works of art to organizations (some
art related, some not) and fundraisers, and have done so willingly.
That is more work given than work sold. The issue is, and more so now
with the current economic crisis, it seems every organization believes
that artists are the first professional group of people to ask for
donations for their fund-raiser, no matter what the cause is. It has
gotten out of hand. I don’t know of any other business group, as a
lot, that is automatically called when money needs to be raised.
Perhaps there are some out there. Perhaps people raising funds don’t
realize that artists are single-person businesses for the most part
and that as a general rule, artists are on the lower end of the income
levels, and that every piece given away to help a worthy cause is also
income we are not bringing in to our business. Perhaps fund-raising
organizations don’t realize that so far there is no tax incentive for
artists to donate our own work. If another individual donates my work,
they get to deduct it from their taxes. If I donate my work, the only
thing I can deduct is the cost of my materials, which I would do
anyway at the end of the year. Under current laws, our skill, talent
and labor is seen as worthless and it might be a good idea for some of
the organizations asking artists for work to start lobbying
governmental agencies to change their policies. As far as I know,
Artist Trust is the only one doing so. How about artists being able to
deduct a percentage of the price for which the piece sold? How’s that
for determining fair-market value?
Until recently, I gladly gave and even served on acquisition
committees for a couple of art-related organizations. At this point,
however, I’m suspending all donations of my artwork in order to make a
living at my job as an artist. I hope that other artists also realize
that the “exposure” incentive or the 10\% back just doesn’t cut it
anymore. I hope organizations start tapping other, wealthier sources
for enriching themselves and that the IRS finally comes to realize
that artists are assets to the community as a whole.

Respectfully,






Juan Alonso
