Absurd Labour invited the public to help create and erase works within the gallery space. Collaboratively ramming earth blocks, tall unsteady towers were created. participants were invited to use correction fluid to erase photocopies of a detailed drawing of a plant, which were then stuck to the wall in thick piles, each overwriting the previous. The apparent absurdity of mundane tasks raised questions of value, worth and shared spaces.
