ABOUT THE PROJECT
REWORKING LABOR is a curatorial research project exploring contemporary representations of work and labor. Building on the interdisciplinary research group re:work, or the IGK Work and Human Life Cycle in Global History program at Humboldt University in Berlin, the project launched in 2018 as an international symposium, followed by an exhibition at SAIC Sullivan Galleries in 2019.
The culminating publication frames contemporary labor from global perspectives of waged labor to the critical issue of anthropogenic climate change in a world driven by accumulation, expansion, and acceleration. Edited and curated by Ellen Rothenberg and Daniel Eisenberg, professors at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) and faculty fellows at SAIC's Institute for Curatorial Research and Practice.
