The simplicity of the idea behind ‘Day Jobs’, an exhibition that explores how workaday occupations have shaped what artists make, conceals the inventiveness at its core. By examining dozens of artists – including such well-known figures as Lillian Schwartz and Andy Warhol as well as less established ones – through the lens of their non-art work, curator Veronica Roberts flips the script.
The premise of the Cantor Arts Center’s newest exhibition paints an optimistic and uniquely American portrait: artists can be inspired by their day jobs. Not only are they earning a steady income, Day Jobs argues, artists can also mine those jobs for materials, know-how and access to specific industries.
