How to Reconcile the Careerist Mentality with Our Impending Doom

All 4 parts of "Trajectories: How to Reconcile the Careerist Mentality with Our Impending Doom" by Ellie Harrison have now been published on furtherfield: http://www.furtherfield.org/displayreview.php?review_id=393 (link goes to part 1, where there are links to all the other parts).

"Trajectories: How to Reconcile the Careerist Mentality with Our Impending Doom addresses the ethical implications of continuing to choose the career of artist in the twenty-first century. It is a manifesto of sorts, written from the personal perspective of a young UK-based artist looking to identify worthwhile reasons for continuing down this 'self-interested' path, given that the future we are likely to face as a result of climate change, is so different from how we dreamt our careers might pan out whilst growing up under Thatcher and New Labour. It explores how we should aim to evolve our roles as artists, in light of this, and what form a new 'reconciled practice' might take."

Definitely worth reading.
