Whether through healthy diet, exercise or positive thinking, the pressure to be transforming into something better is constant, but for what purpose and reward? ‘Unproductive thinking’ centres on these ideas asking how artists engage their time and how does the production of art differ from the incessant push to always be efficient, diligent and productive in proposing imaginative alternatives?
Featuring work by Jessie Bullivant, Lauren Burrow, Eugene Carchesio, Laresa Kosloff, Rob McHaffie, Ian Milliss, Elyse de Valle and Simon Zoric.
