Workers in Song is the latest iteration of an ongoing collaborative project by composer Billy Bultheel (b. 1987, Brussels) and visual artist James Richards (b. 1983, Cardiff). Their immersive audiovisual installation and performance take visitors on a journey through a whirlwind of original material and citations, spanning the pleasures of online hookups, underground films, and subcultures of bygone eras, as well as the darker dimensions of romantic subjectivity.

Workers in Song seeks to confront the viewer with paradoxical sensations of pleasure and discomfort. It alludes to the depth of human existence, beauty, death, sex, loneliness, nostalgia, togetherness, and their intricate relationships.

Experience this exhibition through the gaze of the curator Joel Valabrega.
