LUCKY PIERRE FREE UNIVERSITY: The Ceiling Has Been Leaking for 23 Years: Normalizing Precarity in a Neoliberal World

Feeling the burden of student loan debt, unstable employment, precarious labor, and the pressures of making ends meet?  As part of Gallery 400’s exhibition Precarity: Contingency in Artmaking and Academia Lucky Pierre invites all to the Precarity Happy Hour. Join Lucky Pierre Free University’s reading group "The Ceiling Has Been Leaking for 23 Years: Normalizing Precarity in a Neoliberal World." Reading group participants will receive 3 course credits toward a fully unaccredited MFA. Or, perhaps we’ll just buy you a beer.
