Aluvial

“On Work” is now open at Aluvial. “On Work” – an exhibition that emerges slowly, layer by layer, revealing itself through each contribution and encounter. Bringing together artists, writers, specialists, and workers, the exhibition explores the theme of work, its impact on self-perception and identity, and its role in shaping society and transforming the environment. The exhibition opens with a few simple questions: to what extent did the pandemic reveal how deeply our identity is bound to work? Do we love it, hate it, respect it, or merely endure it? From these inquiries, however, its direction unfolds through the contributions of each artist and participant. In this context, industry and agriculture emerge as key protagonists, tracing shifts from early socialist representations and communist heroization of labor to post-socialist critique. "On Work" considers the unresolved histories, and the landscapes that work leaves behind.
