Robotnicy opuszczają miejsca pracy/ Workers Leaving the Workplace

The book Workers leaving the Workplace was created in connection with the exhibition of the same title, which took place at the Museum of Art in Łódź in 2010. The publication consists of texts by Joanna Sokołowska, Diedrich Diederichsen, Maurizio Lazzarato and Jan Sowa. The problems they address relate to the relationship between art and modern changes in production, and the transformation of work from the perspective of sociology and philosophy. The book contains a chapter entitled “Artists at Work”. Joanna Sokołowska, the curator of the exhibition, asked the artists who took part in it, which means for them the slogan “artist at work” taken from the famous work of Mladen Stilinović. In this part of the publication we will find interviews with the artists participating in the exhibition, but also their visual essays and texts related to the given question.
