Freee@Meet The Interrupters
Text/photograph, Meet The Interruptors: the truth about socially-engaged art practice, Whitechapel Art Gallery, 2006
To mark the publishing of Gavin Wade’s non-simultaneous novel ‘The Interruptors’. ISBN 1-873352-19-0, published by article press.
An evening of performance and discussion concerning socially-engaged art practice. Taking part in the event is Gavin Wade, Karen Guthrie, Maraget Harrison, Jane Trowell, and Freee art collective. The evening addressed the ideas and encounters explored in ‘The Interruptors’. Introducing the artist-activist, artist-researcher, artist-engineer, artist-collaborator and artist-educator, each with a unique power and costume of their own.
Hired to document the proceedings of five Art Council of England’s sponsored events, Wades’ ‘The Interruptors’ is the book that some hoped could be buried under a pile of bureaucratic paperwork!
Freee developed three new text works as a resonpse to Wade’s novel and his experience of being an artist – report writer. The audience were invited to work out what the text’s said. The images are the results.
