About The Exhibit

Initiated by the Susquehanna Art Museum, Let's Get to Work is a high-energy, cross-cultural project involving 28 contemporary artists and two artist/curators from the United States (Jonathan Van Dyke) and the United Kingdom (Gavin Wade). As a collective, this group will contribute objects, plans, writings, ideas, and new media works to a series of four evolving sites across the United States.

The artists include Kathrin Bohm + Stefan Saffer(The two artists work separately and by collaboration and are based in London and Berlin), Aaron Brode (Los Angeles), Steven Brower (New York), Cornford & Cross (Britain), Ian Dawson (London), Jeremy Deadman (London), John Wood and Paul Harrison ( both based in England), Oliver Herring (New York), Nina Katchadourian (New York), Matthew Keough (Brooklyn, NY), Atelier van Leishout (Rotterdam) Graham Little (London), Mark Lombardi (deceased , New York), Danica Phelps (New York), Philip Ross (San Francisco), Albrecht Shafer (Berlin), Alyson Shotz (New York), Polly Staple (London), Simon Starling (Glasgow, Scotland), Julianne Swartz (New York), Sarah Sze (New York), Austin Thomas (New York), Keith Wilson (London) Richard Woods (London), and Elizabeth Wright (London).

Let's Get to Work will promote innovative ways of thinking, creating, and interacting our public and private spaces, the act of working, and the nature of human relationships in the context of our built environment. The artists involved in Let's Get to Work will create challenging interactive works as a template for a new city, a place for discovery and discussion.

About the Gallery

The Base Kamp is a collaborative team of artists that produce a heterogeneous body of works dealing with current theoretical practices and thought. This team has been working with each other on large scale projects in their own gallery and other spaces throughout the region since 1998. These artists have expressed an interest to participate in a wider fine arts dialogue in and outside of Philadelphia, by emphasizing the importance of addressing themes that are endemic of our contemporary cultural/textual landscape.
