This is what I make, this is what I do.
Aleksandr Rodchenko used the term ‘Production Art’ as a sublime notion of craft. Fine art was considered pretentious in a proletariate world, especially since art implies painting, and painting was dead. As noble as the constructivist ideas may have been, they are dead and I am yet here.
I have co-opted Rodchenko's term for myself. I apply it to work at which I get paid, have been paid, or should have been paid. "A-ha!" you think, "these conditions are met with any monetary exchange". Let me nip that bud of thought — It is work that is done, only to get paid. If the payment ceases, so does the project.
Sometimes I use the word whore to describe myself in these situation, but some people take offense. None meant, it just describes the situation aptly. I am getting paid to perform a service for someone, which I would not perform otherwise, and while feeling good at times, is generally a one-sided situation.
Here are examples of work I have performed.
