Value Added Text by Alina Lupu is a text-based screenprinting workshop operating inside the Dappermarkt throughout June 2026 as both a printing press and a micro-economy.

Service at Dappermarkt is a one-day event in which four artists exchange a wayward and unique artistic service in an exchange with market visitors – for money, something tangible or intangible, symbolic or material. The project aims to go beyond the logic of the service industry, but instead invites artists to reinvent and appropriate the idea of "service" according to their needs and values.

Over a period of nearly five years, Lapdogs of the Bourgeoisie interrogated how class structures shape the production, presentation, and reception of contemporary art. 20 years on, we return to these questions and ask why class continues to be so easily overlooked in the production and presentation of art.
