“Well, I have this project...” – this is how many stories around independent, creative labour begin. Cultural forms of organisation hardly ever develop on the basis of strategic considerations but rather cluster around the individual needs of a specific project. Teams are built for a limited amount of time, splitting up again, or merging into networks. Money sometimes comes from private sometimes from public sources; sometimes not at all. How is it possible to build sustainable structures in spite of such unreliable dynamics? Which models of organisation make sense in the field of art and free culture? And, most importantly: how will the cultural enterprise of the future look?
