Detail from Harun Farocki's Workers Leaving the Factory

The first major exhibition in Scotland of significant works by pioneering filmmaker Harun Farocki (1944-2014).

To start the evening, a panel of artists and scholars will reflect on the abiding potency of Farocki's endeavour and its pertinence in critically engaging with the politics and representation of labour under capitalism today.

Chaired by curator Sophia Yadong Hao, the panel will include artist and curator Antje Ehmann who has initiated and produced the project Labour in a Single Shot in collaboration with Harun Farocki, writer and organiser layla-roxanne hill, and curator Prof. Sarah Perks.

The conversation will be followed by a chance to view the exhibition and a drinks reception.

Please book a ticket via Eventbrite to guarantee a seat. The event is open to those without a ticket. The event is free and open to all.
