And finally to recap and recall the importance of that recent news of multiple suicides in Chinese factories producing the new iPads for UK markets.

This story, appearing just last week, maps well on to the story of art's making matched with the story of industrial productions, consumerism and service economies, all mapped by William Morris, Fordism, The Tiller Girls, Tamla Motown, Duchamp, Bauhaus, Koons, Steinbach, and dematerialised Conceptual art.

Santiago Sierra's recent, provocative works, in which the artist's 'making' involves direct uses and abuses of labour that mirror the exploitative systems of late Capitalism, are perhaps the closest we get to a current and critical artist touching on the contemporary manifestation of this issue, this story of art, making, production and consumption.
