Organizing Dark Matter: W.A.G.E. As Alternative Worker Organization, Greig De Peuter

Communication Studies Faculty Publications

Since its founding in 2008, W.A.G.E. (Working Artists and the Greater Economy) has worked to reform the economic habits of US art institutions and of the artists upon whose cultural work these institutions are dependent. Inside a decade, W.A.G.E. went from a small grassroots collective to an internationally recognized, yet lean, organization, which not only advocates for labour standards in the nonprofit art sector, but also develops practical tools to begin the work of doing better by equality in the art world. This chapter positions W.A.G.E. as an example of what Immanuel Ness terms “new forms of worker organization.” Informed …

They each wrote hundreds of letters to friends, family, and other social activists concerned with their plight. Using a collection of letters written by …

The Pinnacle, Allyson Mcnulty

Oswald Research and Creativity Competition

Family is more than a wife, a husband, and their children. Family is support and reliance. It is unconditional love. It's a concept many of us understand and feel a deep connection. This contemplative playscape is dedicated to Sarah West and her family, a former faculty member of the College of Design. This design is unified from three individual components, representative of each family member. The center piece acts as Sarah and her memory as a mother, wife, and artist. Alone, this piece could not stand. Two additional pieces brace and interlock into this center form, allowing the design to …
