Division of Labour (Worcester, London) relocate to Paradise Works as part of a 20 month research project into co-operatives and mutualism. Launching with their inaugural exhibition Apparel, this off-site project responds to questions posed by the artist Stuart Whipps challenging the gallery's modus operandi: Could a not-for-profit gallery for represented artists work as a collectivised mutual or co-operative group? What mechanisms and structures could be employed to create a working gallery where a fair distribution of profit from sales can exist?

Between 2018-19 Division of Labour will enact six exhibitions looking at clothes, food, healthcare, housing, transport and banking. Division of Labour founder Nathaniel Pitt will invite co-operatives and similar organisations to talk about and share their experiences as part of this programme. Nathaniel is curator to The Manchester Contemporary and founder of Pitt Projects.
