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!

Alice Theobald: They Keep Putting Words in My Mouth! An Operetta of Sorts

«Alice Theobald draws upon a mixture of pop and underground cultural references as she develops multifaceted performances using music, installation, and video. Theobald’s performance and video works point to the substance of their fabrication through playing with the metaphorical potential of language, sound, and movement while directly addressing accepted concepts of spectacle and emotion.» [PR]
