WFH (WORK FROM HOME)
Kay Abude, David Attwood, Eugenia Lim, Sven 't Jolle; curated by Laura Couttie
1 August – 29 August 2020
STATION | SYDNEY
WFH (Work From Home) was developed in response to our current situation, investigating the politics of work and how the Covid-19 pandemic has revealed and amplified existing structural inequalities in our society. The exhibition features a group of Australian-based artists whose practices address issues of work, labour, productivity, how we function within contemporary neoliberal capitalism, and whether there is a viable alternative.
‘WFH’ stands for ‘work from home’. The abbreviation is often used in digital communication to notify colleagues that someone is working from home rather than reporting to a physical place of business. Many of us have been working from home the past few months, as we attempt to prevent the spread of Covid-19. One of the outcomes of our changed work environment and conditions has been a renewed social engagement with the politics at play in how and where we work, who does what work, and what types of work are valued or considered ‘essential’.
