Apartheid Apartments now open in Doncaster!
APARTHEID APARTMENTS
I’ve opened my first shop-based art installation since Pocket Money Loans, up in Doncaster at the Art Bomb Hub. The show runs from the 17th May-2nd July and is viewable 24 hours a day. I’ll post more photos and details on my website here.
The exhibition is an attempt to draw attention to Israel’s long-term policy of ethnic cleansing which has had material and diplomatic support from successive UK governments.
Israel’s genocide in Gaza is beyond horrifying but its important to place it in the context of an ongoing attempt by Israel to wipe Palestinians off the map. I put all these horrific crimes into the mundane form of an estate agent to try and show the banality of evil at work, how things as dull as planning permission and property rights are all part of an attempt to systematically eradicate an entire people.
Below is the video that plays on a loop in the exhibition, which was a collaboration with an old friend and brilliant artist Michelle Tylicki.
SHOP SALE TO RAISE FUNDS
I went £4000 over budget on the Apartheid Apartments project and put it all on my credit card which comes out of my account on the 25th, so if you ever wanted anything from my shop, now would be a great time! I’m doing a 10% sale in my shop until then, just use the code PANICSELLING.
GLASTONBURY
The Hell Bus is coming back to Glastonbury, but moving to Greenpeace field and with some extra new work I’ll be building over the next few weeks.
