About
The Retro Bar at the End of the Universe presents, The Public Secret. This interventional work aims to find new ways to discuss politics and wellbeing in 21st century. Drawing on submissions made to the Public Secret Instagram account and results from the “what if (?)”, General Election of Governing Emotions (#GE18), The Retro Bar at the End of the Universe will develop an amorphous landscape of ever changing artwork in drawing, sculpture and sound installation.
