The Exposition

Working on image and text for MA Exposition brochure and found press cutting in the drama group archive. There is something Sarah Lucas about this as an image. The staged-ness. The 'forced entertainment.' The direct address of the photographer / audience. It reminds me of the Gob Squad in its kitsch-ness. I like the low art / high art clash between review in local paper and preview in MA brochure. The review comments on the merits of a performance that is by its very nature amateur. The review is probably written by an amateur reviewer. The project too hopes to contribute to this debate. I want to find an image that is both generic and specific about the aesthetic. To hint at the style of the work without prescribing the form of exposition the work will take.
