Abstract

State of the Union explores the relationship of artists to political engagement through a focus on the labour movement and trade unions. The exhibition presents a fascinating array of union material such as banners, posters, documentaries and newsletters, alongside artworks which demonstrate the many strategies employed by artists to explore the issues associated with labour and working conditions. Together this material demonstrates a heartening belief in the relevance of art to everyday life and its capacity to work for positive change. Kelly Gellatly, Director, Potter Museum (from the catalogue)
