This summer, inspired by a study from Kinopoisk and the Moscow School of Cinema dedicated to earnings in the film industry, I launched a survey among artists whose work is connected to the Russian context.
There is still a lot of unpaid labor in contemporary art in the country. As compensation, artists are most often offered work in exchange for food, so-called social capital, and promotional support. Meanwhile, the option of earning through gallery or direct sales is not available to all creators. For many artists — especially those whose work is associated with fundamentally non-commercial disciplines, new media, or specific socio-political themes — the only way to earn money for their art is through participation in exhibitions, festivals, biennials, and organizing educational labs and workshops. However, the rates for such work rarely enter the public domain.
In the absence of other tools (including unions), the survey I’ve initiated is an attempt to research the income levels of artists in Russia. Based on it, a fee schedule will be compiled, which both artists and institutions can use when budgeting their projects.
At present, 110 artists, duos, and collectives have responded to the questionnaire. The results of the survey will be presented in the fall at one of the professional events.
