Notes:
- Does not include grants, commercial work or awards.
- Working for free is fine imo if people involved are working voluntarily.
- There are some categorical differences between for example galleries and publicly funded institutions.
- The amount of days used on each project will surely differ from one person to another.
- 1 day = most of a normal working day (8 hours) is used on the project. I calculate a day per event (talks etc.) because they are usually more time and mind consuming on the day itself than their actual duration.
- The 'costs substracted' field doesn't include own travel and transport costs.
- This is not to expose or criticize individual institutions. Why I started logging the gigs was because there are such large often unexplainable gaps between each institution and each gig in terms of time spent and fees and I wanted to look at the numbers to try and understand better the differences to find tactics for fair(er) pay.
- I would like to see more fascilitators/intermediaries assume that artists need pay as well as covering of necessities such as transport, material costs, travel if required etc. That means being clear about fees and costs from the get-go and fascilitating a dialogue about expectations. I'd like to see more negotiation of budgeting on behalf of artists.
- This grid is inspired by a few different sources, please feel free to adapt it and please share with me if you do.
