We’re excited to announce a series of talks that have been programmed alongside Rachel Adams & Tessa Lynch’s collaborative exhibition Stoop, Stoop, Stooping is Stoopid! on display in the Studio Pavilion at House for an Art Lover. This series delivered by a variety of academics, writers, artists and historians aims to expand upon some of the artists’ research interests as well as provide an insight into a variety of subjects touched upon by the exhibition.
Frances Gabe’s desire to escape the drudgery of domestic labour through her self-cleaning home, can be seen as an attempt to outsource, automate as well as refuse the conditions of domestic work. The talk shares research into the political history of outsourcing maintenance work, the automation of feminised labour and current ways this is being challenged and refused.
Speaker Jenny Richards’ work explores the politics of feminised labour and how this can be explored through collaborative and collective practices. She is currently working on her PhD ‘Outsourcing the Body’ at Konstfack, Stockholm.
Refreshments will be served at the event.
