No Time To Lose, Peacock Visual Arts, Aberdeen
14 June – 26 July. Preview Friday 13 June 6 – 8pm
No Time to Lose is a response to the systemic decline of personal time experienced in various parts of the world due to increased hours spent working. The exhibition draws attention to the unsustainability of social and economic systems that do not afford people sufficient time outside of work.
Developed by Canadian curator Milena Placentile, the exhibition features new and recent work by Amy Alexander (USA), Cathy Busby (Canada), Anja Hertenberger (Germany/Netherlands) & Anja Steidinger (Germany/Spain), Saki Satom (Japan/UK), Abigail Schoneboom (UK/USA), and Tobaron Waxman (Canada/USA).

REINIGUNGSGESELLSCHAFT and Miklós ERHARDT The SOCIAL ENGINE - exploring flexibility is an art and research project on the influence of flexible concepts of work in Hungarian and German societies. It explores the structural changes in the job market, the role of new interpretations and practices of labour in existing social networks, and identities in transformation. By presenting parallel interviews with employees and representatives of temp-work agencies in Hungary and Germany, the project endeavours to grasp the dynamics of flexibility generated by insecurity – and of insecurity generated by flexibility.
