The platform workworkworkworkworkwork.com presents a variety of artistic and theoretical approaches regarding representations of labour in contemporary art and culture. With a nod to past representations, it maps the past to the present day – with a view to the future.

With contributions from a range of disciplines, mediums and positions, WORK manifests itself online as an experimental web platform. New content by commissioned artists, academics and thinkers will be regularly released online, as well as a range of related exhibitions, talks, publications and other relevant content. 

WORK is a project by curator David Ashley Kerr, facilitated by the Helsinki Collegium for Advanced Studies and supported by Kone Foundation.

At PUBLICS on Wednesday 12th of June from 6pm you are warmly invited to join us for an after-work drink to celebrate the official launch of the platform. The website will be launched with an introduction from platform creator David Ashley Kerr and the Helsinki Collegium for Advanced Studies. The Berlin born street journal Arts of the Working Class will also be made available in Helsinki for the first time on the occasion of the launch. 

Welcome!
