He is also the curator of BasementArtsProject, a domestic house that also functions as a gallery, studio and event space In Beeston.

The Past Is A Foreign Country.

Every year representatives of all political parties gather at the Cenotaph alongside members of the Armed Forces and the general population to commemorate Armistice Day. The eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, that moment at which the canons fell silent and the fighting of the previous four years ceased. Ever since that day we have been called upon to ‘Never Forget’.

A Message To The Surplus Population

It is time to suspend our belief and start looking to the things that we have always considered as fantasy. There are indeed difficult decisions to be made and they are being made on our behalf by and for the benefit of those who have less distance to fall if it all goes wrong.

We must not allow ourselves to be assigned the future of a surplus population.
