A new installation by Manchester-based artist John Powell Jones, WORK DRINKS is an exploration of performative workaholism, corruption and deception. STOCK Gallery in Levenshulme (Manchester) invites you to take a break from rising and grinding, from working hard to look busy and to join the lazy, the entitled and the workshy for an evening of WORK DRINKS.
