Labor l'amour
20 April - 8 May
Art is fun. Like business meetings on golf courses or garage DIY projects, this collaborative show examines the inherent contradictions and ambiguities in the definitions of work and leisure sustained by a commodified culture. These artists’ interests lie in operating as an interplay of identities within a collaboration and generating commentary on conventions of art practices, and the process of art making. Thus the show, using video and performance with an emphasis on an experimental approach, functions a bit like an aimless weekend hobby, an ongoing investigation without any sought resolutions.
Quote from the artists:
This collaborative project features an absurd outing
outdoors on one not-so-fine day characterized by its
detours, distractions and general indecision. Treading in between labour and leisure, the work negotiates between these distinctions where futility might be comforted by faith and likewise faith itself, failed by futility.
