In Perpetuity: Screening and Artist In Conversation

The economic system we live in, however you might refer to it, promises a chance at subsistence— even suggests we might thrive—if we preserve and hone our ability to accumulate wealth. For most of us this necessitates selling ourselves in a labour market, and for none of us can this promise be assured.

STREAM THE CONVERSATION AND SCREENING HERE

Working people are, like the dressage horse, cut off from their spontaneity in order to align with the rhythms of a labour process. In this iteration of In Perpetuity Ivey Wawn presents a video work featuring three dancers performing dressage choreography as a metaphor for the pressures of a life subjected to wage labour.

This video will be followed by a conversation between Ivey Wawn and Lizzie Thomson.
