Artist collective

An artist collective is an initiative that is the result of a group of artists working together, usually under their own management, towards shared aims. The aims of an artists collective can include almost anything that is relevant to the needs of the artist, this can range from purchasing bulk materials, sharing equipment, space or materials, through to following shared ideologies, aesthetic and political views or even living and working together as an extended family. Sharing of ownership, risk, benefits, and status is implied, as opposed to other, more common business structures with an explicit hierarchy of ownership such as an association or a company.

Artists collectives have occurred throughout history, often gathered around central resources, for instance the ancient sculpture workshops at the marble quarries on Milos in Greece and Carrara in Italy. Collectives featured during both the Russian revolution when they were set up by the state in all major communities, and the French Revolution when the Louvre in Paris was occupied as an artists collective.

More traditional artist collectives tend to be smallish groups of two to eight artists who produce work, either collaboratively or as individuals toward exhibiting together in gallery shows or public spaces. Often an artists collective will maintain a collective space, for exhibiting or as workshop or studio facilities. Some newer, more experimental kinds of groups include intentional networks, anonymous, connector, hidden or nested groups, and groups with unconventional time-scales. Artist collectives may be formed: For economic reasons, to give members volume purchasing power and allow costs of publicity and shows to be shared. For political reasons, to increase local lobbying power for arts infrastructure, to gather behind a cause or belief. For professional reasons, to develop a higher group profile that benefits the individuals by association, to create a hub for curators and commissioners to more easily locate potential talent.

Voluntary association

A voluntary association or union (also sometimes called an voluntary organization, unincorporated association, or just an association) is a group of individuals who voluntarily enter into an agreement to form a body (or organization) to accomplish a purpose.

Strictly speaking in many jurisdictions no formalities are necessary to start an association. In some jurisdictions, there is a minimum for the number of persons starting an association. Some jurisdictions require that the association register with the police or other official body to inform the public of the association’s existence. This is not necessarily a tool of political control but much more a way of protecting the economy from fraud. In many such jurisdictions, only a registered association is a juristic person whose membership is not responsible for the financial acts of the association. Any group of persons may, of course, work as an association but in such case, the persons making a transaction in the name of the association are all responsible for it.

Legal status

An unincorporated association has been defined as existing:

“…where two or more persons are bound together for one or more common purposes by mutual undertakings, each having mutual duties and obligations, in an organisation which has rules identifying in whom control of the organisation and its funds is vested, and which can be joined or left at will.”^[1]

In most countries, an unincorporated association does not have separate legal personality, and nor do members of the association usually enjoy limited liability. However, in some countries they are treated as having separate legal personality for tax purposes.^[2] However, because of their lack of legal personality, legacies to unincorporated associations sometimes fall foul of the general common law prohibitions against purpose trusts.

Associations that are organized for profit or financial gain are usually called partnerships.^[3] A special kind of partnership is a co-operative which is usually founded on one man—one vote principle and distributes its profits according to the amount of goods produced or bought by the member. Associations may take the form of a non-profit organization or they may be not-for-profit corporations; this does not mean that the association cannot make benefits from its activity, but all the benefits must be reinvested. Most associations have some kind of document or documents that regulate the way in which the body meets and operates. Such an instrument is often called the organization’s bylaws, regulations, or agreement of association.

Company

Generally, a company is a form of business organization. In the legal field, a company is specifically “a corporation — or, less commonly, an association, partnership, or union — that carries on a commercial or industrial enterprise.”^[1] Generally, a company may be a “corporation, partnership, association, joint-stock company, trust, fund, or organized group of persons, whether incoporated or not, and (in an official capacity) any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, or similar official, or liquidating agent, for any of the foregoing.”

• A company limited by shares. The most common form of company used for business ventures. Specifically, a limited company is a “company in which the liability of each shareholder is limited to the amount individually invested” with corporations being “the most common example of a limited company.”^[1] This type of company is common in England.
• A limited-liability company. “A company — statutorily authorized in certain states — that is characterized by limited liability, management by members or managers, and limitations on ownership transfer”, i.e., L.L.C.^[1]
• A company limited by guarantee. Commonly used where companies are formed for non-commercial purposes, such as clubs or charities. The members guarantee the payment of certain (usually nominal) amounts if the company goes into insolvent liquidation, but otherwise they have no economic rights in relation to the company. This type of company is common in England.
• A company limited by guarantee with a share capital. A hybrid entity, usually used where the company is formed for non-commercial purposes, but the activities of the company are partly funded by investors who expect a return.
• An unlimited liability company. A company where the liability of members for the debts of the company are unlimited. Today these are only seen in rare and unusual circumstances.

Less commonly seen types of companies are:

• charter corporations. Prior to the passing of modern companies legislation, these were the only types of companies. Now they are relatively rare, except for very old companies that still survive (of which there are still many, particularly many British banks), or modern societies that fulfil a quasi regulatory function (for example, the Bank of England is a corporation formed by a modern charter).
• Statutory Companies. Relatively rare today, certain companies have been formed by a private statute passed in the relevant jurisdiction.
• Companies formed by letters patent. Most corporations by letters patent are corporations sole and not companies as the term is commonly understood today.

Note that “Ltd after the company’s name signifies limited, and PLC (public limited company) indicates that its shares are widely held.”^[3]

In legal parlance, the owners of a company are normally referred to as the “members”. In a company limited by shares, this will be the shareholders. In a company limited by guarantee, this will be the guarantors. Some offshore jurisdictions have created special forms of offshore company in a bid to attract business for their jurisdictions. Examples include “segregated portfolio companies” and restricted purpose companies.

There are however, many, many sub-categories of types of company that can be formed in various jurisdictions in the world.

Companies are also sometimes distinguished for legal and regulatory purposes between public companies and private companies. Public companies are companies whose shares can be publicly traded, often (although not always) on a regulated stock exchange. Private companies do not have publicly traded shares, and often contain restrictions on transfers of shares. In some jurisdictions, private companies have maximum numbers of shareholders.

The point is (XD) that I can respect the author’s opinion against the ‘progressive liberalist’ direction of the school (even if I think otherwise) but what actually scared me out of the whole slew of comments (both rational and irrational at times but that’s no surprise) was this certain user, “Aurvant“, whos comments, seemingly rational and rhetorical at first, deteriorated into this raving lunatic which, if you read between the lines, he actually spews a totally fascist and totalitarian idea that is in reality a blind and selfish view because instead of actually seeming to care he just doesn’t want to pay any aid programs and would prefer that everyone walk and look in one direction: his direction. So, what scared me was to know that probably many conservatists think this way. I’m sure not all of them are as violent or irrational; there was actually one comment from a woman who claims she’s in favour or abstinence education but that she doesn’t mind this ‘safe’ reaction from the school’s part as long as she knows she raising well her own child at home. That’s admirable. Still. This man represents many who think the same. This is unrestrained proof, at least to me (but I’m sure to many others as well), that such thoughts lead to no good…and they give me the chills. Imagine a country run by this train of thought….oh wait. There are countries run with these frightening train of thoughts.

“…The government will swoop right in and take whatever share out of my paycheck they feel is necessary to support whatever new “save the dumbass kids” program they’ve come up with that week.

Really wanna know what my plan would be? Let em live with their own problems and deal with their own mistakes. Don’t have medical insurance or the money to support the child? Tough! Deal with it the best you possibly can but don’t let them file for government aid so that “I” have to do the providing for them.

Do I think that children should have access to birth control? absolutely not. That just lets the leash travel just a bit farther than it let them before. In fact, I think that birth control should be made only available to married couples or couples who are living with each other.

Then, I propose that all government aid be dropped from supporting all of those ignorant and stupid enough to throw their lives away for 5 minutes of pleasure. That way the deterrence of “fear” would be created and then people might think twice before they go out and whore up the place, or at least the parents will keep a tighter watch on their children and actually punish them for being so retarded.

[...] (y para rematar – XD) [...]

Perhaps if the children today were raised with the same understanding of how the world works as I did….well…maybe we wouldn’t need people stepping in and creating “pills for kids” programs.

But there has always been this other side; this intense, intangible, dark and viscous abstraction that has pulled me through star speckled nights and tears of gold collecting inside my wrinkled palm. This absurd and poetic side, in its circles, is generally known for its aversion to such a digital and electronic era. I should know. And I should understand. But there lies such a dilemma. One side is not the other. And I have generally sided with the more present cyberculture. Even so, I could not, and would not, and will not ever deny my black substance which is actually what mostly gives me sense and freedom.

It is this sense…that made someone say he would read my novel when I was just 11. It was this sense that made someone say I would end up on an Italian beach writing despairing poems as I’d watch the sunset. By myself. I was 17. It was this sense… The other complementary features may hide this more sinister side but, whether they knew it or not, it was this ludicrous yet substantial essence that permeates my every being. It sings softly to me during nightmares. It screams in my head when I’m lost inside its storm of madness. I cannot shake it, I cannot destroy it. Destroying it would only destroy me. I should know.

It is thus, that I have not seen one other person haunted by these two sides of the coin, for it is what makes me whole…and so I cannot be separated. It might be the way to my tombstone, I think I have glimpsed the road, once; and it was beautiful. I have dreamed of you, but you might be my Death. Or my Life. I am never sure anymore but I know I can stand many realities at a time within me. It is what has kept me sane, actually. The strange thing about it all is its tinge of melancholy. The broader picture might enlighten me, at the end, that the road was meant to keep me bleeding as my weeping could be its only source of energy.

I was an intergalactic captain, a beatnick writer, a suicidal poet, a knight in shining armour, a grim reaper. I’ve become the fading footfalls of my sadness; I know one way to go and it’s a long journey and I must bleed.

Me da mucha más gracia por ser diseñadora, creo. Y porque yo también lo hago…
