Publisher Impractical Labor (ILSSA)
Author  Emily Larned & Bridget Elmer


Impractical Labor (ILSSA) is a union for reflective creative practice. As a union for artists and makers of all kinds, ILSSA focuses on improving the immaterial working conditions of our members. ILSSA publishes contemplative resources and organizes participatory projects, exhibitions, and events. ILSSA publications typically take the form of a call-and-response.The "ILSSA News Bulletin," a letter and leaflet/poster, was mailed to current members on March 21, 2020: "Regardless of our personal situations, we find ourselves disconnected from our usual patterns, habits, interactions, assumptions, routines, and faced with new ways of being, doing, and making. Some of us find ourselves aboslutely exhausted. Some of us wonder about other modes, possibilities, potentials. What have we been doing, that has gotten us here to now? How can we choose differently and contribute to something otherwise?" The publication seeks submissions for two forthcoming projects: "A Trying Time: An ILSSA Quaranzine for Working Together, Alone" seeks to document the experiences of impractical laborers during the early days of COVID-19 quarantine, and "Surveying the State of the 2nd ILSSA Union" requests impractical laborers to self-assess their working conditions as artists using a rubric borrowed from sociology. Printed risograph & letterpress, hand folded, stamped, & signed.
