The book I will work for you for one hour, but someone else should pay for it is an artist’s catalog documenting the homonymous exhibition-project held in an apartment in Turin alongside the contemporary art fair Artissima 2015. The volume is made up of four main sections: the exchange of “instructions” between artists for thinking-producing-installing the works; essays analyzing the project but especially the general theme of “work and art” and the artist in the position of worker; the exhibition with illustrated works; and an appendix with facsimile images of historical documents from artistic “unionisms” (Artists Union, Art Workers' Coalition, etc.).

The texts therefore include both original ones dedicated to the exhibition and selected excerpts from “historical” critical writings that deepen the theme of work and the project developed through networks in contemporary international artistic practice. I will work addresses a topic little explored in current publishing and constitutes both a descriptive catalog of an exhibition/artistic operation and an independent, well-illustrated essay on the subject.

The start of the project is an email sent by Juan Sandoval to the invited artists, which reads: Dear Artist, next 5th of November during 2015 Artissima Art Fair in Turin I will open my apartment / studio to the public. I’m inviting thirteen artists to take part in the project “I will work for you for one hour, but someone else should pay for it” and I would like you to take part in it. The project consists in the realization of an artwork, created by you and realized by me. The realization of your work has to be done (by me) within one hour. I will realize your project myself, employing all the resources available in my studio. You are free to choose the medium or technique you prefer. I will invest a maximum of 10 euros in materials. All the artworks will be available for selling and their cost will be calculated on the basis of the cost of one hour of your time plus the cost of one hour of my time plus the cost of the materials. The total amount of the purchase of the artwork will be divided 50 - 50 %. Please, let me know if you would like to take part, and if you have questions.
