Performing Paper

 I was invited by Paper Gallery director Nicola Smith to take part in an exhibition of work exploring the boundaries of art; challenging the concept of the art object. Using paper as a starting point, 17 artists produced a variety of works including performance, documentary, mapping and sculpture for the show.

I made 10 cardboard cut outs from pornographic magazines, men and women in various sexually provocative poses or activities and secreted them about the gallery and surrounding area.

What do your tattoos say about you?

YEAH I DID.

Paper Gallery Recce

I went for a look round Paper Gallery, Manchester, the other day to see where I might secrete pornography in the upcoming Performing Paper exhibition. Hoping to put some outside and inside the gallery, nowhere too obvious.

 

The exhibition opens on the 20th June and will be open to the public on Saturdays thereafter until 3rd August
