Doctoral Candidate Marie-Andrée Godin: (Im)possible Labor – WWW³ (WORLD WIDE WEB/ WILD WO.MEN WITCHES/ WORLD WITHOUT WORK) (2017– )
(Im)possible Labor is part of a research cycle on feminism, magic and post-capitalism. Initiated in 2017, the cycle is called WWW³ (WORLD WIDE WEB / WILD WO.MEN WITCHES/ WORLD WITHOUT WORK). The aims is to think collectively about our future(s). Through a corpus of installation and performance, as well as socially engaged artistic practices, this research asks the following questions: What links can we weave between magic and post-capitalism? Are we capable of imagining an "exit" from capitalism and putting it into action? How can art, magic and politics be understood in the same way, as creative actions? Evoking both domesticity and laborious work (Im)possible Labor is imagined as a space of circulation for ideas regarding women’s work — invisible, domestic, care, reproductive labor — post-capitalism, post-work, feminist economics, wages for housework, universal basic income and magic as creative action. Highlighting the various connections between witchcraft, handicraft, domesticity and politics, the exhibition proposes the inclusion of certain craft techniques, namely weaving and tapestry. Aiming at an appropriation of skills and knowledge endangered by capitalism, this inclusion raises questions relating to the real or imagined opposition of craftwork and labor work, private and public, as well as production and reproduction work. During the exhibition(s) both formal and informal discussions were held in the installation in order to activate the sharing and the space.

University Lecturer Andy Best & Merja Puustinen: Strange Fruit (2019)
Strange Fruit consists of three inflatable sculptures. The forms resemble genetically mutated plants, the results of soil and radioactive contamination caused by anthropocentric activities such as mining, deforestation, pollution and population growth. The name Strange Fruit alludes to Billy Holiday’s infamous song of the terrible consequences of racism and intolerance. The Strange Fruit are beautiful yet ominous heralds of a possible future.
