Artist Profiles: Working Forces with Jehra Patrick

Work by ‘Working Forces’ artist, Jordan Weber

Check out the second half of the conversation with Jehra Patrick about upcoming the exhibition ‘Working Forces’ as she talks more in detail about the artwork in the show.

‘Working Forces’ opens concurrently with exhibition ‘Mathew Zefeldt: Desktop’ on November 12th from 7-11pm. Both shows will be up until December 18th. 

Working Forces assembles 10 projects from 13 artists which employ a range of ideologies from production and consumption, the professionalization of the artist, corporate identities, manual functions, languages of management, objects of labor, support structures, and art as industry. The 1960s heralded the notion that art work, in addition to the acts of making, also describes the occupation of the artist-as-producer, and yielded the term ‘art worker.’ Currently, artists continue to assert their voice not only as a working class, but as agents of social change amidst a new boom of increased entrepreneurship, professionalization, and artistic cooption. Conceived for the Soap Factory, in Minneapolis’s post-industrial zone and home to Midwestern work ethic, the exhibition considers ‘art as a place for work,’ the workplace, and art’s role in the making – and unmaking – of economic status, class, labor, gender, race, and social dynamics.

Participating artists:

Jack Pavlik J. Myszka Lewis Anna Campbell Adam Caillier and Michael Mott Katayoun Amjadi The Shaft Heather R. Buechler Lindsay Foster & Mimi Cabell Jordan Weber Kameelah Janan Rasheed
