Show Type: Group
Show Title: Preventative Maintenance
Show Prompt: Preventive maintenance (PM) is the regular and routine maintenance of equipment and assets in order to keep them running and prevent any costly unplanned downtime from unexpected equipment failure. Work from home, live at work. Too many ways to communicate. Life can start to feel like an endless to do list. Dissociation. With the singularity on the horizon and the blurring of what is expected of us at both work and home, dehumanization begins and we as people can start to feel as if we are equipment or assets. How do we as artists and people take time to recover from the stresses of modern life? How can we maintain an artistic life or career in the face of constant competition and unlimited output on social media.
Invited Artists: Laura Collins, Seth Sexton and Alexis De Chaunac
Run dates: End of October 2021-mid December2021
