Comments on: What does The Working Lives of Londoners collection of photographs tell us about the working lives of Londoners? http://nowaytomakealiving.net/post/746 is a sociological space about work, generating discussion and exchange on what work, paid or unpaid, is like in today’s world Mon, 30 Jan 2012 21:40:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Lynne Pettinger http://nowaytomakealiving.net/post/746/comment-page-1#comment-79 Lynne Pettinger Tue, 04 May 2010 09:04:48 +0000 http://nowaytomakealiving.net/?p=746#comment-79 This exhibition looks really interesting. I'm wondering what's distinctly London about it though: the work that services tourists, the work of politics? These have their echoes elsewhere. The best I can come up with is the scale of work: that the city doesn't just stretch horizontally, but vertically too: from the underground workers to the air ambulance, the city is vast. I note that there's no representation of the City, of finance, of grey suits and striped shirts. This exhibition looks really interesting.
