Group show - More Than Just

"made up of work by a group of New Zealand/Aotearoa and Australia-based artists
whose day jobs are in the sex industry. For the purposes of this exhibition the 'sex industry' describes a labour force which is specific and diverse in its historic, economic, and political manifestation. Among the modern service industries the sex industry is unique in that
it is almost wholly grounded on the labour force supplying services, which is quite different
from other service industries where labour is attached or attendant to another product
or property, e.g. the restaurant business. This collapsing of category between the
worker and the service is addressed by More Than Just through an invitation to
exhibition visitors to contemplate a more expansive understanding of those in the industry."
