Celebrating the construction workforce behind Factory International’s new home, FACTORY WORKS is an artwork in the form of a vinyl record and accompanying film. Created by artist Neville Gabie and musician/DJ Nabihah Iqbal in collaboration with construction workers and manufacturers involved in the creation of Aviva Studios, the record mixes industrial sounds and snippets of conversations with workers – all underpinned with original electronic music. Get a glimpse behind the scenes of the Aviva Studios build with the accompanying FACTORY WORKS short film – directed by Neville Gabie and Mark Thomas of Soup Collective. It’s a celebration of the people, sound and skill involved in the creation of Aviva Studios and features the whole workforce of the companies involved in the FACTORY WORKS project. Neville Gabie is known for creating works that respond to people and places in moments of change. Focusing on the core materials that form the infrastructure of Aviva Studios – steel, concrete, cloth, rubber, wood and glass – FACTORY WORKS was made over a two-and-a-half-year period from Spring 2020 to Autumn 2022. There are 1500 copies of the limited-edition artwork – available to buy online and at Aviva Studios. Every worker from the factories together with the whole on-site workforce will receive their own copy of the vinyl album. Each album has a unique sleeve from design agency North, with thanks to Peter Saville. PLEASE NOTE WE CANNOT GUARANTEE A PARTICULAR DESIGN
