The Candidate

Project for an Unidentified Political Object (2014-15) is a participatory artistic proposal brought recently by the English artist Gordon Shrigley. The MP Candidate - a project realised during the 2015 General Elections in the UK - had a total of 28 votes, i.e. participatory spectators. The 27 + 1 votes, which expressed a political decision, are the moment when participation as an act became visible for everyone, although, at the end, even if being expressed within a political frame-work and set, it was an art project, not a political proposal. Congratulations to the Candidate Candidature - that's one choice! that's greater freedom!
