last few months, particularly since I'm in Facebook, I get a average of four messages a month asking for introductions, interests in books and all kinds of texts, as well as invitations to panel discussions, lectures etc. 90% of them are cards that do not include compensation, by people who do not know (I want to ie, they are not friends ask me a personal favor, something different, but that's a gift). Fortunately I also receive invitations rewarded, but often in ways that "official", ie my website or my agent. I, until now, after 20 years professional writing and being also on the other hand, the organization of round tables, festivals etc, I've been very clear. If you can not pay someone for work I can think to call to do so. My theory is that if there is no money to pay for write, play, participate in a table, it clearly can not do that project. Or, maybe, if a book, for example, and no money, it should appeal to texts that are already made.
I state this here because I start to wonder. You may be in error and I is rare. I know that there is an argument that refutes my argument saying that there are some very interesting things that if everyone wants to collect as there will be successful. Yes, indeed. But I see this as I do not know, for example, buy a house. If I can not buy a penthouse in Chelsea, since I bought it and that's it. From this we discussed here referring to the music, which is another area that I know, but I fear that affects all areas of art. I expose because I want the opinion of most people and, again, I may be wrong and give too much importance to this writing. For my love of art has a price and I do not mean metaphorically, but we, like I'm wrong.
PS If any of those who asked me to collaborate with some text, give a free talk etc reading this, please do not think that is an attack. In fact, all I have explained my point of view and have understood (I hope). It is not a "claim", just something I do not understand and expose it if someone helps me to understand (or not).
This entry was published simultaneously in facebook. Copy (by removing the names because I have not asked permission) comments have been made there, if someone wants to continue reviewing here 1-best
the soundtrack by Ennio Morricone, of courseHace an hour.
2-I feel the same, Silvia, although there are exceptions. What is wrong is that people think that we are available to all, and the fact that we already have should be sufficient payment.
3-you forgot to mention the importance of respect. oneself. through the eyes of others.
.. so absurd as to go to a restaurant, sit at the table and ask the chef to surprise star juices with our superb creations. eat. burp. rise of unpaid mesa.marcharnos .... Read másnena, enhorabuena.ahora respect you more.
4-these things happen in all professions. You have reason ... Mason read it with friends is different (I liked it a gift), but friends of friends and cousins \u200b\u200bof friends and the children of mothers-in girlfriends of our friends are diferentes.Lo problem is that artistic issues misunderstand things. As are works in theory or dye idle funny, people think that cost (in both senses) and as there is a minimal relationship, some leverage to demand "a favorcillo of anything." I propose a roll sheet "love of art has a price," and man! 5-
agree that what you pay for them and therefore must be equal

6-Under In my view there are things that should be charged and others not. Basically we should charge for the work and the rest can do for free if you want and you'd like. The problem is that many people going to do things professionally in principle were not working. I mean that people who are, for example, hundreds ... Read massification or attorney, gives a talk one day, you get paid, get excited because it is easy money and after a loooong time devoted more time to give Charleta that original work. Of course, there if no charge has a problema.En my case I paid the newspaper I work for. And (at least for now) and I shall make my living. If someone offered me a side, I look, I appreciate it and if I want I do. And really, the last thing I care about is money.
8-totally agree, I as a journalist and singer hallucinate with unpaid proposals, c ... Read másómo?? you want to give you a free two-day pilot? and will release it's a great opportunity for you to see, and the music ... let alone Silvia ... we have to pay us the room to tocar.Lo that accounts is not at all interested or selfish position, I like to write, you do well, but it is a job like going to the office, you must value and have to live so you have to be paid. The other day a radio station told me that in these times of crisis there are speakers who charge 5 euros speech, and said it excited me like a great opportunity for the channel, the crisis we are experiencing. I did not feel embarrassed sorry for the speaker and agree to these prices regrettable. What will happen next year .... go back to double those of the presenters, broadcasters, writers, actors and musicians? crisis need not to underestimate the true professionals ... pathetic Sivia.
9-unfortunately we are in a country where general are not valued in any work, where it is customary to mount things on the basis of cronyism and where companies look at cost before quality. There are honorable exceptions, but the overall picture is a bit like that. Not only is art. Many computer work fixing computers altruistically even in offices?, How many people help make production budgets for all types of soirees? .. Well ... no ... do not cross. One thing is a favor for a friend @ and another that. You imagine this with engineers, architects, lawyers ... but I guess that also happens to another level. I think evil is the above, the lack of appreciation for the work and effort of this country, so we also have wages and other ....
11-GrijalbaBueno, I think we all think, so far, then, m ... Read about the same mass. Of course there are exceptions, Iñigo, me too, thanks God (or whomever) will also pay me in the newspaper and books I write and, in general, things organized and, of course, if a friend asks me to do a prologue or whatever, because I do not charge no money. In fact, sometimes I do things for free, of course, but I mean basically the concept that it's assumed that, as you say more, as this is art, "fun", "cool" for there to pay and if someone asks you to do something free to do so as if such a thing without asking for thousands and thousands of apologies, explaining why you can not pay etc etc. Come on, it seems that pay is an exception.
12-Before The same thing happened. Before for other reasons. As that if you like .... it can not be that top brass and of gusto.Ahora you because nobody cares to do things that took time to and have no idea that bitch for that, to do that, it took time, quite in formation ... Mason read .. I feel that for me is an old topic, well known and have been at this for about 25, 27 years .. and paint and I always release the ... "To see when I was given a box" or. "Ah you paint! Me too and I have a cousin ..".. there are those who go mola culture they seem to face them a painting by 2000 or 3000 euros but you can spend a bit silly cocaine in a weekend and that overspending in one day since .. as normal ... If it is expected that one would pay, it can be one .. There are already to know their work and develop techniques for other gigs aunqeu employer .. and get paid conseguirque ..
13 - I operate as ... Read House:!) Is a friend who calls me a favor? ... Yes, no? If no step 2) A) is an interesting project that starts and really need help and have sought by all means available funding sources or B) is a project that starts but does not really have exhausted the path of process to seek funding or C) have not even thought about the job of building a consistent idea financially and where all charge ... well in cases 1 and 2 to collaborate if and only if I have time (for even friends looking for that time) . 15-I
Silvia. But I'm sure you also know several alleged professionals-what-it-is that what living is really the "pins" and the prologue and charge up to speak at meetings of its neighboring community. And it is harmful because people simply can not afford. Interesting initiatives that are burdened by these leaders of the first person charged.
16 - agree with you, and I'm a little m ... Mass reading further: it has no value for free (most of the time, q is do not say always) ... we used to pay for everything, and no wonder that people do to be up there, how they got and what contratación.Conozco conditions are some artists do anything that is for "love of art" that lead him to the edge of failing to cooperate in projects that maybe, just maybe, might have a payoff in the future. And I fully understand, is not enough mediocrity famine and q are credited with the artistic, to leave it at zero cost over ???.... what currency exchange then there is ???... same reciprocity then when we're in good times, memories of those we helped q??. q I fear does not usually happen .... This is a topic q is permanently in many conversations, and my conclusion (knowing the bad life of the artists) is q can not overlook the fees. You no matter who gets upset. Moreover, we can go eat for free at a restaurant just to prove that there is no ????.... ???... and why a writer / musician / pintor...etc should do it? ?.... need cultural awareness and artistic bone .... not on citizenship education, but in art and culture
17 - Grijalba Yes, totally agree and also, within that, I think people must understand when you go to a place where there really is budget and when is it something more modest and / or underground. The pitch of the speaker, of course I feel as bad. I what I mean is that people (often themselves "artists") does not give enough value to artistic activity and beyond. But what you say is very true.
