The Public are Not Invited Nov 2010

I was invited to show work in a group show in Nottingham, The Public are not Invited. The show was curated by Paul Masotic, his vision: ‘Public accountability has been cited as driving the shift in funding priorities from ‘excellence’ toward criteria led production in which audience development is critical. Funded art is produced to perpetuate political objectives; the cutting edge is dulled; audience numbers may be growing but this audience is increasingly the passive, disempowered recipient of prescribed ‘art’ production for the masses. But now that the arts budget is being obliterated in order to cover the national debt (and please note these are not temporary cuts but a permanent reduction in funding hinting at a right wing ideology under the guise of deficit.)’
