Installation

Kafka 100

|

Kafka’s 100 was a ‘honey trap’ to lure artists into a fake open call celebrating the centenary of Kafka’s death, in which they would face a series of increasingly absurd and impossible hurdles in getting their work accepted.

Metaphysical Roulette

|

Metaphysical Roulette is a game based on betting on beliefs (those appearing in previous Census).  A custom roulette table was created for the purpose of the game. This game premiered at the Ventnor Fringe Festival in 2021 and is available for hire/performance.

Status of the Artist

|

Park book, part installation, this work satirised the naivety of the 1980 United Nations Recommendation on the Status of the Artist. The full text of the recommendation was styled to emphasise the idiosyncratic nature of UN-speak with its endless repetition of stock phrases. The piece was printed on non-archival thermal receipt paper to highlight the corruption of artistic freedom by market forces. The installation consisted of this ‘receipt’ being periodically printed by a standard Point-of-Sale receipt printer, mounted on a plinth. The piece was exhibited as part of the 2015 Sheffield Artists Book Prize.
