One of the most elaborate printed pieces to date by Impractical Labor in Service of the Speculative Arts (ILSSA). We acquired copies of this from Emily Larned a while back and we're finally listing them for sale.
Here is ILSSA's description: "In early 2012, as part of the ILSSA Quarterly, we mailed a 8.5x22" letterpress survey (above right) to all ILSSA members, asking each to assess her/his labor conditions as an art worker. 42 members responded with great insight, clarity, and thought. The resulting report (above left) is an edited compilation of the returned surveys: a collective and contradictory voice recounting the State of the ILSSA Union."
