Censortive Information @ ACT ART 8
Metalworks, Islington
Nearest tube: Angel
Friday 9th July
Censor-tive Information has been developed specifically for Act Art 8 and is a conceptual live art piece that takes place over the course of the evening. Starting with a large blank sheet of paper hung on a wall, I will write in paint various descriptions of incidents in my life where I have been the subject of homophobic abuse. When the text is finished, passers-by will be asked to act as censors and paint out the single most offensive word in the story in thick red paint, effectively changing the meaning of the text and blotting out the parts of history that they do not wish to see. When the red paint dries, a word of the opposite meaning to the one it replaced will be painted over the top of it, transforming it into a new biography: a censored version of my own life.
Tickets £10 in advance
