  • Eternal Employment
    1 ETERNAL EMPLOYMENT Proposal: A person is employed at Korsvägen. The position holds no duties or responsibilities, other than that it should be carried out at Korsvägen. Whatever the employee choses to do constitutes the work. The employment contract is full time and of indefinite duration. Should the employee resign or retire, a new employee is recruited. Employment conditions correspond to that of an average public sector employee; including working hours, holiday entitlement, pension provision, notice period, etc. Annual wage increases aim to follow collective bargaining agreements. The endless duration of this employment is feasible because money pays better than work. As long as we live in a society where the return on capital is substantially higher than the average increase in wages, Eternal Employment is kept afloat. Realization (Summary) Eternal Employment is realized through long-term strategic investment of the allocated production budget. To facilitate employment and capital management over time, a foundation is set up specifically for this purpose. The station at Korsvägen has a time clock where the employee is expected to check-in and check-out every working day. (The employee is not required, however, to stay within the premises of the station throughout the day). The time clock is connected to the lights above the platform, turning on a stronger fluorescent light – “working light” – whenever the employee is at work. The Eternal Employment Foundation is also responsible for collecting and making accessible secondary mediation, such as news stories, reportages, rumors, jokes and urban legends that the project generates over time. Eternal Employment 2 Relation to the site: Korsvägen Anti-Performance in the Event City Gothenburg is an event city.
