WORK WITH ME HERE is a new project that extends the Works<30s series – a body of short videos lasting less than thirty seconds by artist-musician-performer Nathan Gray. The project presents the complete collection of films in the Works<30s series for the first time in one space, whilst transforming Design Hub’s Project Room 1 into an open studio where new works in the series are generated collaboratively, on site and in public. Designed by Melbourne-based studio SIBLING, this space comprises a collection of ‘zones’ where visitors can drop-in, participate, watch a performance, observe works-in-progress or hang out.

During the exhibition Gray will be in residence, working and administering an intense program of public, talk-show-style conversations, actions, lectures and performances, as well as a special program of events curated in collaboration with Liquid Architecture.
