FACTORY WORKERS UNITE

FACTORY WORKERS UNITE works with questions of position within a social, political and aesthetic field of critical commentary and response. Their context specific approach is often bracketed with a self-reflective moment of pause and an openness to the constant possibility of the artist’s culpability. Charging political formats and situations head-on, their work insists on the importance of contemporary art with political agendas. Studies of the practical formats of the contemporary globalized art scene and the paradoxes of participation, coupled with the possibility and growing promotion of political revolt, forms the baseline of this work.
