17. What unique challenge do visual artists face compared with creators in other fields
A. They receive payment only once for a sold artwork.
B. They often have to give away their work for free.
C. They cannot sell their work online.
18. How long did Zero Art Fair last
A. About a week. B. About three days. C. About one day.
19. What does Seth Siegelaub do
A. A collector. B. A lawyer. C. An artist.
20. What does the speaker say about Zero Art Fair
A. It was held by artists Jennifer Dalton and Adam Simon.
B. It creates a win-win situation for artists and collectors.
C. It is trying to replace the traditional art market.
M: If you write a book, there’s a chance that it will be chosen as a movie script. If you make music, licensing deals present the opportunity to earn more money on your songs in the future. But for visual artists, once a work is purchased from the gallery, that’s the only time they’ll get paid.
Artworks can be sold for much higher prices than what they were initially sold for. Therefore, artists are keen to enter the secondary market. Zero Art Fair, a new art fair that offers $0 artworks and a unique contract, has helped artists make that connection. It was created by artists Jennifer Dalton and William Powhida, running from July 19th to 21st in Elizaville, New York. The fair’s contract includes a five-year vesting period during which the artist can borrow back or sell the piece. If the artwork is resold, the artist receives a percentage of the sale price. Artists benefit by clearing storage space, and collectors gain access to art they might not afford otherwise.
Other artists have experimented with unconventional sales methods: Adam Simon created an online network for collectors to “adopt” works of art, and Seth Siegelaub worked with lawyer Robert Projansky to create an open-source legal contract.
But that’s not to say that Zero Art Fair and these other schemes are trying to replace the art market. Any experiment that benefits both creators and collectors is well worth trying.
爆破音+爆破音
当两个爆破音相连时，第一个爆破音停顿后，发第二个爆破音。
词尾辅音+词首元音
这种连读最常见也最简单，把相邻的两个单词想象成一个单词即可。
翻译（英译汉）
3、Any experiment that benefits both creators and collectors is well worth trying.

艺术家们通过清理存储空间而受益，而收藏家则可以获得他们原本可能买不起的艺术品。
1、If you write a book, there’s a chance that it will be chosen as a movie script.
如果你写一本书，那它就有被选为电影剧本的可能。
跟读
M: If you write a book, there’s a chance that it will be chosen as a movie script. If you make music, licensing deals present the opportunity to earn more money on your songs in the future. But for visual artists, once a work is purchased from the gallery, that’s the only time they’ll get paid.
