open 8 hrs a day
many many works on labour | museum for performance art
In the ever more efficient workplace, we work ourselves into the ground. The working body constantly teeters on the edge of a burn-out, while robots and artificial intelligence line up to replace us. Alienated from our humanity, we exploit ourselves and one another. Are we still able to rebel? Or do we now need to automate our resistance?
During WORK WORK WORK, Frascati is opening its doors for four days as a museum of performance art. Each day, the building will be open for eight hours: a working day. Dries Verhoeven is co-curating the programme that features six work by himself and others and consists of a large number of performances, visual art and video works dealing with the relationship between employer, employee and (art) consumer. Together, the participating artists probe the politics of the working body – today and into the future.
