TONITE …the charming mistakes of my youth… (#46) - Thursday, January 17th, 8-9pm PST special guest: @shaynepcarter #music #nostalgia #proust #DunedinSound #NewZealand #Bangkok1899 #childhood #adolescence #repost @kchungradio (at Dunedin, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsweYd3l7FY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9l2thkufw9ax
A West Side Design studio reached out to KCHUNG in early October, to ask us to participate in a “Open Studios” type event happening soon. This is to be a marketing event for them, where by getting organizations to show up and participate, they get publicity and public interest in their firm. However, while this is a business proposition for them, they decided that the participating organizations ought to do so on a volunteer basis.
We responded to their inquiry with a letter attached below (edited), asking them to pay the organizations and artists who will to participate. It is all too common that artists and arts organizations are asked to spend time for free, in support of corporations and firms making money through their marketing, something that can and should change. Our concern is that the community of artists and individuals that KCHUNG springs from, and lives and breathes by, is supported. Part of what artists and organizations need are opportunities, places to play or perform, but in addition to those opportunities, artists need financial resources so that they can play and perform.
We would like to take a moment to ask you to restructure your event, to financially benefit the participating artists and creative individuals.
As you know, artists are often asked to forgo compensation for their work in exchange for a deferred compensation some call “cultural capital”. this generally takes the form of exposure or the promise of connections, that are supposed to offer greater future opportunities for the artist or arts-organization. Please understand, we already have cultural capital, which we assume is why you want us for your event! what artists and participants instead need is tangible compensation — put bluntly, to be paid for our time. Wageforwork.com is a great resource to find out appropriate compensation, or we would ask for a budget of 500$ - 800$ for a project like this one.
It’s no secret that Los Angeles is an expensive place to live and work, one where it is increasingly difficult to find reasonably priced studio space. While our financial needs and resources don’t compare to that of a design firm, we have a studio space too (after all we are a radio station as well as being cultural producers), and we can assure you we have to pay rent every month. In fact, we will soon lose our space in Chinatown to re-development, and do not anticipate finding a new space at the same price.
KCHUNG is almost entirely self-funded. Each DJ pays dues monthly so that we can afford to have our space - and so that we can have full creative control of the station’s content and output ourselves. We don’t have advertisers or funders that support us in exchange for getting their brand/ideas out. Eschewing traditional revenue ensures that larger brands do not have the power to censor and influence the content that we make. In that sense, we are our own bosses. However, those monies are only sufficient to keep up with the quotidian expenses, and in order to purchase new equipment or do a larger project, we rely on the monies that come from events and fundraising to supplement our participation dues. The project you're suggesting we accomplish will require multiple meetings and extensive email correspondence to conceptualize, materials and equipment to manifest, and staffing for the presentation. Participating without an event budget would mean that KCHUNG would cover all of these costs, essentially paying to participate.
This bit of candor is to offer as a microcosm; an example of the strategies and sacrifices that artists must constantly consider in order to continue their practice. While an event like yours might be a marketing write-off for your organization, for KCHUNG and all the other participants, this is the thing. The time that we spend at events, out in the world, immersed in our communities, and preparing for them, is the thing that we do. That’s the time we spend for which we deserve to be compensated.
yours,
KCHUNG
