24/7 AT WORK Aberdeen (2008)
24/7 AT WORK was part of No Time To Lose, curated by Melina Placentile for Peacock Visual Arts, Aberdeen, Scotland (2008). It was located site-specifically at the Aberdeen Business School Library, Robert Gordon University. The work was made up of a list of ‘management speak’, a collection of self-maintenance products, like deodorants and power drinks, along with management and critical books from the library. A vertical vitrine was positioned by the main entrance just past the turnstiles and beside the photocopiers. A secondary low-rise vitrine was located between these turnstiles. In 24/7 AT WORK, products aimed at promoting an inexhaustible worker are used to suggest a critical narrative on work-life trends. Read more 24/7 AT WORK.
