The Mead Gallerys Workplace Exhibition

WORKPLACE – Open Mon-Sat 12-9pm

The Mead Gallery’s Workplace exhibition is now under way.  Featuring video installations from international artists, Workplace explores how the universal experience of a global workforce can cut across social, political and geographical boundaries, and shows the struggles faced, and the often humorous methods employed for survival.  Mead Gallery Curator Fiona Venables will be leading Office Tours on various dates throughout the exhibition’s run – find out more about the thinking behind this unique installation.
