Open Works!, a project operating within Labor Party, is an experimental public event that attempts to analyze democratic (horizontal) vs hierarchical (vertical) critique within the artist community.
n.b. The project wasn't fully realized because of external factors imposed on it's scope. This did however bring up larger questions regarding 'public' and 'audience' of art events.
