What Would Artists Do?


What Would Artists Do? was an agency/festival presenting consultancy services by artists.



Viewers could participate in unfolding artworks via messenger conversations and research surveys, and join us in a collective thought process around the Artist As Consultant. The practices of the artists represented move beyond the formats and economies of the art market and academia.



They challenge the dominance of the consultancy industry and its methods as they pervade our political environment and social lives. What Would Artists Do? is the next step towards a cooperative agency for artists‘ performative knowledge practices and succeeds the workshop Artists Have The Answers?
