PURE POTENTIAL: do you know when you are *working*? was a one-week intervention interrogating The Old Lock Up / IN ARI as a site and space for experimentation, interaction and social practice. Presented as a series of site-specific experiments using temporary installation methods and care practices, the work responded to the spatial *conditions* of the site. These interactions questioned how human and non-human resources might inhabit space, revealing new and unutilised potentials.
**SITE NOTES**
Grace Dewar and Laurie Oxenford (Public Palace) collaborate under the premise that the studio is anywhere *work* takes place. Using a residency framework allows the artists to make continuous work in a set period of time, where the outcomes are constantly evolving via live and durational art-making. This approach reveals traditionally unseen actions to bring forward process, labour and experimentation, forcing a tipping point into live performance and questioning where the *work* begins and ends.
*DO YOU KNOW WHEN YOU ARE WORKING?*
Public Palace acknowledge this project took place on the stolen lands of the Gubbi Gubbi people.
