Description/Abstract:

Participation in the group exhibition curated by Bernice Donszelmann, Tim Renshaw and Mary McLean. Exhibited the work FTW (For the Win / Fuck the World) made in collaboration with Louisa Minkin. Here we use the format of the triumphal procession to pose questions around the twinned states of glory and nihilism. FTW! (For The Win / Fuck The World) is a banner that combines a letter to a generic addressee alongside a selection of internet memes, rage comic figures and images of disaster and celebration. Drawing on the procession's historical movement through the space of the city – demarcating its limits, activating its latent sites of power, demanding acclamation from the people – this work reflects on the need to demonstrate collective worlds.
