Money has been on my mind. For the last 4 months, I've been living off web design work for a small art institution. It barely covers my expenses. Somehow, I've strung together these types of jobs for the last two years. The job will likely end a month from now. The stress of having to find another job to carry me through the next couple of months is returning. This way of living doesn't feel sustainable, but I'm also not sure what the alternatives are.

I've thought about moving back to the US but I'm not sure if the trade offs are worth it. Working a full-time job just to live in an expensive US city. Somehow fitting an artistic practice in on the weekends. Being stretched thin. That also doesn't sound sustainable. Where do people live cheaply these days?

This morning I listened to a podcast about the financial life of Bernadette Mayer. They mentioned Committee on Poetry, which I'd never heard of. Feels like there should be something similar for web artists.

On another note, I was browsing Bernadette Mayer's website, and she made a work called Memory.
