“…However, in Swedish ballet, almost 70 per cent of choreographers in key positions in networks are women (Konstnärsnamnden, 2016). Further, the number of lower‐middle‐class dancers and choreographers in Sweden increased from 841 in 2007 to 1032 in 2014 (Flisbäck, 2014; Konstnärsnamnden, 2016). This implies broadening of the ‘culture of invitations’ to other social groups: ‘We have one member whose mother works at the opera, so she helped us sew some costumes [..] my boyfriend is a photographer, so we've collected favors here and there’.…”

This article develops an understanding of gendered precarity in project work by considering how the transfer of risk from employer to worker is shaped by the contextual pressures of state policy and the organization of the industrial field. The focus is the organization of project work as a condition underpinning the shifting of this risk in a mature field of precarious employment, the cultural and creative industries (CCIs). Our empirical exploration in Film/TV in the UK and Germany, and Dance in Sweden and the Netherlands, examines the dynamic interplay between state policy domains (cultural, social and regulatory), industry-level funding bodies or 'transaction organizers' and the cultural processes of CCI project networks. We argue that stateled influences both drive and mitigate the transfer of risk in project work as gendered, racialized and classed. Our framework contributes to broadening employment literature on risk and the disadvantaging capacity of networks to hoard opportunities in project-based labour markets. INTRODUCTIONPrecarious work, that is 'work that is uncertain, unstable and insecure and in which employees bear the risks of work' (Kalleberg, 2018, p. 3), is both increasing and disproportionately done by

“…For example, being paid less and having fewer professional opportunities makes sustaining an artistic career considerably more difficult for women. Juggling caregiving and parenting obligations has also been found to diminish female artists' capacity to engage in creative practice, maintain careers, and cultivate a secure sense of themselves as creators (Flisb€ ack & Lindstr€ om, 2013;Liss, 2009). Hence, creative women are often placed in the invidious position of having to choose between work and family (Bender, Nibbelink, Towner-Thyrum, & Vredenburg, 2013;Helson, 1999).…”

The historically male‐dominated discourse encompassing artistic creativity has often failed to acknowledge the voices and contributions of women. Female artists continue to face barriers in terms of accessing opportunities, attaining positions of prominence, and earning potential, in comparison with their male counterparts. This inequality is deleterious to female artists and society. Therefore, it is important to understand the relationship between artistic creativity and gender, with a particular emphasis on elite female artistic exemplars. The present qualitative study utilized in‐depth semi‐structured interviews, in accordance with the methodology of Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis, to explore the role of gender in relation to artistic creativity among 10 eminent Australian female visual artists. Findings indicated that participants were affected detrimentally by gender‐based inequality on personal, professional, and sociocultural levels. Their experiences as women, however, also inspired and informed their artistic creativity aesthetically and conceptually. The findings challenge patriarchal conceptualizations of the “male artistic genius” by presenting a female‐focused counternarrative. Implications for educating, supporting, and empowering current and emerging female artists to excel are discussed.

“…Det oppleves kanskje heller ikke som like risikofylt for mannlige som for kvinnelige kunstnere å fortsette som kunstnere etter at de har fått barn: De har større muligheter for å få levelige inntekter og i praksis ofte mindre forpliktelser knyttet til hjem og familie (Smeby, 2017). En svensk studie har dessuten vist at kvinnelige kunstnere oftere opplever konflikter mellom arbeid og familieliv, og at konfliktene gjerne oppleves enda sterkere for kvinnene når de får barn (Flisbäck & Lindström, 2013). Selv om også andre yrkesgrupper påvirkes av slike mønstre, gjør de seg kanskje saerlig sterkt gjeldende for kvinnelige kunstnere, fordi de ofte har en mer ustabil og risikofylt arbeidssituasjon i utgangspunktet enn andre yrkesgrupper.…”

I 1999 intervjuet vi 23 studenter som gjennomførte en høyere kunstutdanning i Norge. Studentene fortalte hvorfor de hadde startet på en kunstnerkarriere, og hvilke tanker og drømmer de hadde om framtiden. 20 år seinere kontaktet vi de samme personene på nytt. De fleste var nå i midten av 40-åra og hadde ganske ulike historier å fortelle. Denne boka tar utgangspunkt i de tidligere kunststudentenes fortellinger om barndom, oppvekst og ungdomstid, utdanningsløp, yrkesetablering og videre yrkesliv. Hvilke valg har de tatt i ulike faser av livet og karrieren, og hvor har disse valgene ført dem? Hva har de lykkes med, og hvilke hindringer og utfordringer har de støtt på underveis? I boka analyserer vi fortellingene til de tidligere kunststudentene i lys av forhold som er særskilte for kunstneryrkene og de markedene de jobber innenfor, men også i lys av en større samfunnskontekst. Boka egner seg for forskere, studenter og andre som interesserer seg for kunstnerisk arbeid. Vi håper også at den kan være til nytte for kunststudenter og framtidige kunstnere som ønsker å vite mer om kunstnerarbeidslivet.
