In autumn 2017, the contributors of Special Issue 12 collaborated with Tate Digital Learning to curate Space Gather Make<\/a>, a mini-exhibit at Tate Modern<\/a> in London that would use creative methods to explore the sights and sounds of shared machine shops from around the world as part of the Art:Work<\/a> week.<\/p>\n

In thousands of cities, towns and villages \u2013 from Japan to Ghana, from the Norwegian Artic Circle to the United Kingdom \u2013 shared machine shops have been opening up where people can learn how to make things with mentors, tools and equipment. Space. By asking what worker-owned labour looked and sounded like at these sites, this issue\u2019s practitioners envisioned their sites as distinct visual environments for a new kind of audience, each imbued with its own kind of ‘life’.<\/p>\n

The exhibit also included a piece by London-based sound artist Vasilis Moschas<\/a>, who created a conceptual audio installation that explored the unique sound environments of participating sites. Combining practitioner contributions with machine-produced beats and spoken-word poetry, his work further illustrated the typical on-site experiences of flow, discontinuity, repair and breakdown.<\/p>\n
