The Quality of Working Life
G Valley Industrial Museum’s special exhibition The Quality of Working Life is the first exhibition of Guro, the Prime set to open annually. Guro, the Prime is opening its collection and archives to partnering artists and creatives across disciplines to promote G Valley, where the working life and pulse of the young are forever cherished. Guro, the Prime’s inaugural exhibition The Quality of Working Life is about “Work and Labor”, which is the first of the G Valley Industrial Museum’s five pillar themes: Work and Labor, Corporations and Industries, Urbanism and Architecture, Mobility, Living and Culture.
There are as many histories of and reasons for people to work as the number of people who work. This is why talking about work is to talk about oneself. Beliefs and values about work lead us to reflect on our own life. The opposite is also true. The Quality of Working Life is an exhibition about our neighbors and us. Anyone who works might have heard an expression implying “doing someone else’s work as one’s own.” For some, such an implication must have driven them to work. For others, it might have been what has held them down. Or, it could have been something else. In the exhibition, the works of four artists PARK Han-kyul, WOO Han-nah, IM Heung-soon, and JUNG Man-young help different individual stories to manifest. They write the issue of “work and labor” in their own visual and movement languages.
