Article 23 served as a starting point for examining the conditions of work and
existence of artists, both nationally and internationally. Contemporary artists
are generally underpaid, their work is assessed poorly or not at all, and they
have low social security, so to survive they must often do work which is not
related to their occupation. The issue of artists' survival strategies has recently
featured more prominently in the local contemporary art context as well, but
without much affinity for the artists' opinions. The artists are most often
referred to as examples of artistic practice and not as living beings who usually
can hardly make ends meet from their work.
