In a desperate attempt to be our best selves, produce our best work and live our best lives, we can forget to appreciate the processes it takes to get there. Our day-to-day lives are often dictated by invisible structures pressuring us to work faster, more efficiently and in turn, neglect the joy that is creating. It is this struggle that (dis)assembling care interrogates, questions and attempts to destabilise.

(dis)assembling care is an exhibition that brings together four multidisciplinary artists to examine elements of process, creation, labour relations and temporality. Each work uniquely re-frames care as a tool of resistance against the expectations placed upon us in our creative and everyday lives. Collectively the works of Darcy St. Louis, Emma Harbridge, Estee Sarsfield and Tim Marvin, construct a critique that is at once a refuge and a provocation.
