Kate McIntosh: Worktable

BIT Teatergarasjen, Bergen, Norway
March 10 – 13, 2021

Worktable is a live installation, open to visitors for several days.

Worktable takes place in a series of rooms – you must sign in to enter and you can stay as long as you like. Once inside there are instructions, equipment and safety goggles so you can get to work – it’s up to you to decide how things come apart.

We provide the hammer, you do the rest.
Sign in and get to work!
