About
'What can you say in print over, under and between the official lines? ' OVERPR!NT
We consider what is official, how do these lines of ‘officiality’ control and liberate? If liberate at all?
Who conducts these lines and can a line simply be crossed? Are lines laws or simply social conventions, is it possible to create alternate pathways that pass through the ‘line’. We aim to look at Contemporary Absurdism i.e Post-Truth and how Brexit and Trump have conducted a world willfully accepting lies; 2016 was the death of God and the rebirth of a Clown.
How nonsensical lines exist through conservativism and its Orthodox grandmother. We want to reveal socioeconomic obscenities as absurdities through unexpected gestures that might provoke alternative thought processes for ourselves and collaborators (the public.)
