I know, right? I made it all the way to the motherfucking Tate! …for all of 4 days ;).
Dole Scum II was shown at Tate Modern in Feb 2107 as part of Shape Arts ‘Ways of Seeing’ for Tate Exchange.
I wasn’t there after install – cos just standing next to your art going “yeah, man – that was me!” is just weird, right? But I saw some of the responses of kids afterwords and it just choked me up!
My curated event, trying to bring together Art, Disability, and Free-Thinking. I said Things We Are Not Allowed To Say. Speakers: Aaron Williamson, Aidan Moesby, Trish Wheatley, Sonia Bouie, Tom Shakespeare, Chair: Manick Govinda. (image credit: Aidan Moesby – Tom Shakespeare, Anna Berry, Manick Govinda)
My new piece ‘Atomize‘ is showing as part of MK Calling at Milton Keynes Gallery. You can see it before 27th March. A little birdy tells me somebody wants to buy it!
If you missed the event in the summer – catch up here: See the piece here:
Installation/Performance/Interactive Piece I sit at a desk with mouth taped, so demonstrably mute. People sit, if they want, and write down a memory or event they didn’t like, or an action they were ashamed of, or a secret that burdens them. I tip-ex over the text. I write a new event/memory to replace it….
Work featured in recent show: Pronoia – March 2015, London. The Management, a stand-alone piece, and a selection from my ‘Masks‘ series. You can hear my talk on this work as part of the panel discussion here:
Please do come hear me speak with the lovely Dr. Jason Hickel, in association with my piece The Constantly Moving Happiness Machine. I’ll be talking about consumer capitalism, and Jason will be talking about degrowth. We will be chaired by Prof. Kevin McConway. 8pm, Milton Keynes Central Library, £5, book here. (Poster)
