Working for the Weekend: A solo showcase by Benjamin Levy at check-in SIDE SPACE hosted by THE SHOPHOUSE

"Working for the Weekend," an old saying that relates to much of the working class in Britain, illustrates how people labor all week only to spend their earnings over the weekend. Benjamin Levy invites you to explore the delicate balance between striving and savoring, toil and indulgence: the week is a relentless grind, yet the weekend is a fleeting paradise.

Using slate—an emblem of labor and resilience—Levy transforms this rugged material into striking craftworks. Each piece captures not only the luxuries and necessities we chase but also reveals the deeper stories of sacrifice and aspiration behind the closed doors - the hidden narratives that shape our desires and the cost of our pleasures.
