'Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best
art', said Andy Warhol. He may be right, but the offices and boardrooms
of the corporate world have rarely provided subject-matter for artists.
Anna Fox and Carey Young
both make work which explores the business world in challenging
and inventive ways. They each discuss their practice as well as
some of the images in Cruel and Tender with writer and
documentary filmmaker Richard Reeves. Reeves, author
of the much-publicized Happy Mondays - Putting the Pleasure
Back into Work (2001), has been described by the Guardian
as ‘Britain's leading expert on workplace trends'.
The Camera at Work series explores historical,
sociological and aesthetic issues related to the photographic representation
of work. It coincides with Tate Modern’s major exhibition
Cruel and Tender:
The Real in the Twentieth-Century Photograph. See Courses
and Workshops and Films for related programmes.
A collaboration with The
Work Foundation, in association with Prospect
magazine
Tate Modern Starr Auditorium
