Opening: Monday, 27 June 2022 at 6 pm.

In the exhibition, I DON’T WORK ON WEEKENDS, the participating artists critically examine the concept of work and their own working conditions. The exhibition takes its starting point in the art and culture industry, but the examination of work structures and their social recognition and importance goes far beyond this sector – it is both historically and internationally situated and is public and intimate in equal measure. The project not only questions how work and its supposed productivity are socially valued, but also what possibilities and strategies for setting boundaries exist. It is not about the moment of refusing to work, but about the possibility of escaping a compulsion to produce and being able to make a voluntary decision, for example, not to work on weekends:
I don’t work on weekends.

In cooperation with the Art History Department of the University of Göttingen, students will develop their own thematic contributions over the course of the exhibition.

Curated by Vincent Schier.

The exhibition will be shown at the Alte Rathaus in cooperation with the Fachdienst Kultur der Stadt Göttingen.
