2. We often feel helpless as artists when dealing with powerful organisations. However, the last few weeks have demonstrated the power in speaking up and in collective action. Thanks to everyone for your support!

1. https://t.co/U1cbHzvXMK Thank you to the new owners of Unseen for doing the right thing. By taking responsibility for the 26 artists that the previous owners let down, the organisation can move forwards

[Felicity Hammond @FlissHammond]

Despicable words from Art Rotterdam director Fons Hof - You know full well that the artists won’t get paid through the insolvency process. Unseen left debts of hundreds of thousands. Take responsibility.

I wonder whether the new owners feel that they have any responsibility towards the countless artists that are still owed money by Unseen.

@mirificare Thanks for this - I had to find this out through someone else, they haven’t contacted the artists to let them know

1. This is me, 12 days after giving birth, back in the studio finishing off a project that I will never be paid for. Unseen Amsterdam @unseenplatform have declared bankruptcy.

An open letter to Unseen. https://t.co/pdWae6283y

@vanyapieters @bradfeuerhelm @UnseenPlatform Thanks for your support. I agree regarding crowdfunding, however I also feel that this just relieves those responsible for paying. Whilst I am so grateful for the support of the art and photo community, I think the best action is sharing stories like these as far as possible

@UnseenPlatform 7. My prediction is that Unseen (who have multiple companies and identities) will just reform in a new iteration, so this is a warning for any artists and photographers who may consider working with them in the future.

[Felicity Hammond @FlissHammond]

@UnseenPlatform 6. Unseen lied about the status of my invoice for months, and now I’m faced with the challenge of filing claims to try and see what I can get from them.

UPCOMING - I’m showing my new work Post Production as a public installation commissioned by @ContactPhoto v soon!
