Charlotte Cullinan + Jeanine Richards (Artlab): Savage School Working Women's Club Bar for the Shock Workers

The Savage School Working Womens Club Bar is a large usable sculpture. Installed in a disused building in Whitstable, the structure of the actual bar is designed from the shape of the nearby Race Track at Lydden, Wooten, Kent. During the preview, Artlab will serve beer from the bar.

The WW Club Bar is fabricated by Cullinan + Richards as an homage to Female Shock Workers (a worker of exceptional skill and productivity) and as a celebration of Women Workers day.

On 13 May 2006 Cullinan + Richards are taking part in a track day, organised for non-professional drivers, at Lydden. A film of the day's events, with a more incidental than documentary style, will be edited into a longer film with scenes from previous Road Movies’ made by Cullinan + Richards. The resulting film will be shown in the Working Womens Club. As with all Cullinan + Richards work this piece fuses documentation with fiction, personal histories and live performance as sculpture.

Artlab have shown widely including at the South London Gallery; the Whitechapel Gallery, London; the Liverpool Biennial; the Pistoletto Foundation in Italy and the Bregenzer Kunstverein in Austria.
