We have recently encountered a compilation of tweets on “living as an artist” by Japanese Artist Tatsuo Miyajima . Despite the specificity of his targeted audience and circumstances in his country, some parts resonated with RFAOH’s interests so we decided to translate it into English with his consent. We are simply curious to know what happens in other nations. On Living as an Artist / Tatsuo Miyajima
Likewise, there have been many talks lately on topics around “art and money” and/or “art and profession/ professionalism”. So there you go, here are some inspirations of the week around our office:

Have a good weekend!

It is question of carrier and money. In gallery you make art carrier. Is the same on hiatus?
shinobu wrote on Jun 8:
“I wanted to prove that actually you can make art with nothing,” -- why make art? make nothing and be on hiatus (;
