Fantastic idea. Minimize the burdens of art and it only gets better. http://www.pledgebank.com/wewontflyforart5#comment_2984358 i like this idea quite alot. but why only for six months, and why only if six others do the same?? http://www.pledgebank.com/wewontflyforart5#comment_2983750 Agnieszka's pledge is the last in the series of "We Wont Fly for Art" pledges and it has only one day left to run. Originally designed with the potential for exponential growth, this collective intervention into the workings and relations of art infrastructure is on the verge of dying out...unless... one artist pledges to refrain from flying for art for 6 months AND replicates the pledge here.
