The project constructs a physical model of third world labour exploitation in sweatshops. Made at the Sweatshop runs four days a week, Tuesday-Friday beginning when the gallery opens at 11am and finishing when the gallery closes at 5pm. The project consists of the artists manufacturing t-shirts, from start to finish, for ten cents an hour. When each t-shirt is completed they are signed and numbered by the artist, and are priced for sale based on the cost of materials, with the additional cost of labour factored in.
Presented alongside Ailie Rutherford Drawing on Dreams and Blue Movies
