Art and entrepreneurship both demonstrate a particular power to experiment with how the social is apprehended, organized and inhabited. How can we then understand and theorize the particular power of art understood as entrepreneurial organizing? In this paper, we develop the concept of artistic entrepreneuring. It is based on contemporary art’s wide-ranging “organizational turn”, where art becomes organization by experimenting with forms and processes of emancipatory organizing. Interweaving art theory, examples of art’s organizational turn and a processual understanding of public entrepreneurship, we conceptualize artistic entrepreneuring as fundamentally aesthetic, necessarily sited and invariably political, and we discuss the implications for entrepreneurship studies and research on the aesthetics and politics of organizing.

艺术和企业家精神都表现出一种特殊的力量，可以尝试去理解，组织和居住社会。那么，我们如何才能理解和理论化被理解为企业家组织的艺术的特殊力量呢？在本文中，我们提出了艺术企业家的概念。它基于当代艺术广泛的“组织转向”，即通过尝试解放组织的形式和过程使艺术成为组织。交织的艺术理论，艺术的组织变迁实例和对公共企业家精神的过程性理解，我们将艺术企业家概念化为从根本上来说是审美的，必然是驻地的并且始终是政治的，并且我们讨论了创业研究以及对组织的美学和政治的研究的意义。
