Labour Dance took place in London at Arcadia Missa on the 30st of September of 2016. It was the first exhibition and installation coming out from Privilege's narrative.

Some days after the opening I performed AGENDA for the first time at DRAF.

Labour Dance, the title of Ulman’s latest solo exhibition at Arcadia Missa (London), at first glance could be interpreted as a nod to open-plan fail harder work cultures of recent years, however the term is taken directly from a practice used by some women to induce birth.
As put by Kristeva, “One does not give birth in pain, one gives birth to pain”. The dominant aesthetic of power and legitimacy are explored and dramatised by Ulman in installation at Arcadia Missa which acts as a one durational piece, an aftermath of Privilege (seen online and in part for the Berlin Biennial).

My body is no longer mine, it doubles up, suffers, bleeds, catches cold, put its teeth in, slobbers, coughs, is covered with pimples and it laughs.

My beautiful wife is 40 weeks pregnant to the day in this video~~ We just got home from our belly doctor and she told us that our daughter Mia Lee would most likely be born a week late???? Then, about 8 hours later we went into labor!!!! I truly believe it's because of my wife's baby belly Vanilla Ice/ Boyz II Men dance off!!!!
