Vocational rehabilitation is a term that refers
to a process of compelling and enabling people to overcome
disability so they can work. This social practice is the
starting point for a collaboration between artist Simon
Denny and Joanna Fadyl, a PHD candidate at AUT, Auckland
whose thesis focuses on this topic. For the joint project
Envisaging Vocational Rehabilitation, Denny revisits
his artistic interest in topics such as leisure culture, the
entertainment industry (video, television) and the
aesthetics of an information economy by working with
information design. The project consists of a collaborative
reorganisation of visual and textual material from Fadyl’s
analysis of the definition and role of reintegration into
employment and society. Exemplary documents originating from
New Zealand’s social history have been compiled and
processed by Denny and designer David Bennewith to form a
central brochure from where the diverse parts of the project
are accessed.
