In the guise of the product designer, Jerome Harrington has designed a communal weight lifting device usable by four individuals at one time. It has been developed with the aim of encouraging group co-operation and forging new relationships between individuals.

The work is presented as a prototype, developed to the point of possible manufacture. As a prototype, the idea occupies a uneasy situation, fluctuating between a discarded or forgotten idea, but equally an idea that has not yet been taken on or accepted.

If We Can Do This We Can Do Anything (prototype no. 3) was exhibited at S1 Artspace Members’ Show 2006.
