Curatorial Tour: Labour of Love
Join us on Sunday, April 13th for a curatorial tour of our current exhibition Labour of Love: Economies of Care in Contemporary Art.
Explore our current exhibition Labour of Love: Economies of Care in Contemporary Art at the Glucksman with a guided curatorial tour.
Labour of Love presents Irish and international artists who explore the responsibility and reality of labour in contemporary society, and how the burden of unpaid and low-paid work might be made visible through art, to focus attention on work and services that are often overlooked, undervalued and hidden from public view.
With a particular focus on the care economy, this exhibition considers how the physical and emotional wellbeing of people is enabled in our society. Domestic, health, hospitality, rural and industrial maintenance rely on the provision of regular and often thankless tasks, provided with great care by people whose activities underpin our daily lives. Labour of Love invites you to notice and reflect on the nature of these endeavours and the value of this work within the wider economy.
No specialist knowledge is required. This tour will last approximately one hour and will be followed by time for discussion.
Sunday, 13 April, 3 - 4 pm.
