For the 2022 festival, Talbot Rice Gallery presented the first survey exhibition of Céline Condorelli. Over the course of her career, Condorelli had remained committed to the articulation of space, as well as to communicating the methods and labour of transformation: from raw materials, cultivation and extraction, to processes of industrialisation and labour, to the methods of its display, reception and transmission.

After Work saw Condorelli present several key installations and artworks, all altered and adapted to the Talbot Rice Gallery, which comprises a series of white cube spaces and a 19th century gallery. Throughout the exhibition, material transformation was enacted, documented, and playfully insinuated, but not all is as it appears. The threshold to the gallery is activated — dislocating us from one neighbourhood to another, the outside is brought inside, labour converses with leisure, the technology of colour is explored and play animates the whole exhibition.
