I've worked as an art handler in New York, both as a freelancer and on the payroll with benefits. The two modes of handling art both share the constant threat of losing one's job if any mistakes are made or if any hesitation to accommodate what is requested—or more often expected—is revealed. Freelancing is less and more stressful. Freelancing allows for a lifestyle where literally 10–14 hour days (like many others, I've done 16ers, some overnighters) can be packed into a week during an exhibition change, with weeks off to "focus on one's own work." More More Options for Historian PhDs Inside Higher Ed Share
Last month, the president and executive director of the American Historical Association issued a call for their discipline to move away from the idea that PhD training is primarily about producing the next generation of professors. They called for history departments to stop talking about nonacademic careers as "alternative," and to instead see them as truly equal options—and as options that should help shape the nature of doctoral education.

NEA Announces New Research Note on Artists in the Workforce National Endowment for the Arts Share
There are 2.1 million artists in the United States workforce, and a large portion of them—designers—contribute to industries whose products Americans use every day, according to new research from the National Endowment for the Arts. Artists and Arts Workers in the United States offers the first combined analysis of artists and industries, state and metro employment rates, and new demographic information such as age, education levels, income, ethnicity, and other social characteristics. More Should Visual Artists Get Royalties? Stranger Share
In the United States, visual artists, unlike musicians, usually only make money once in the sale of an artwork. After a work is sold the first time, other people make money on it—not the artist. But California is the only state with a law that gives visual artists royalty fees. California's law says artists are entitled to 5 percent of the sale price when their works are resold. More
Pompeii Collapse Renews Outrage over Site's Condition ADN Kronos Share
A collapse at Pompeii has sparked renewed outrage that the world's largest archeological site is being neglected, prompting the government to send archeologists to assess the damage. A labor union reported that a chunk of the wall from Domus of Diomede building on Via Consolare collapsed a day after European Commissioner Johannes Hahn announced that the European Union would give up to 105 million euros to protect and restore the fragile site UNESCO World Heritage site.

Steve Mumford recently returned from his fourth trip to Iraq, where he spent some ten-and-a-half months drawing. He was embedded with numerous units in the US Army and also spent time with Iraqis, particularly in Baghdad, where he got to know many young artists. Through drawing Mumford hoped to depict the day-to-day experience of the war zone, from the point of view of both the soldiers and the Iraqis he got to know. More
Science Publishing: The Trouble with Retractions Nature Share
This week, some 27,000 freshly published research articles will pour into the Web of Science, Thomson Reuters' vast online database of scientific publications. Almost all of these papers will stay there forever, a fixed contribution to the research literature. But two hundred or so will eventually be flagged with a note of alteration such as a correction. And a handful—maybe five or six—will one day receive science's ultimate postpublication punishment: retraction, the official declaration that a paper is so flawed that it must be withdrawn from the literature.
