Over the last few days curators and volunteers have been busy installing the work of 70 artists across the Anglia Ruskin University campus in Cambridge as part of the annual Art : Language : Location festival, exploring the connections between art, language and location.
This commission marks the final iteration of Revolution #10 for 2015 and is presented as a series of 10 newspaper billboard style posters, fixed directly to interior walls of the university corridors.
When I turned up for a publicity photo shoot with the local paper accompanied by festival Chair Robert Good we found ourselves having to explain to the university authorities how my revolutionary posters constituted “art” and not an attempt at actual insurrection! It was a fitting finale to a work made with quotations from members of the public which became part of A People’s Manifesto.
