“In a technical sense the project is looking at the erosion of thinking and art under the regime of Neo-Liberalism primarily through the prism of Post Autonomy, which I no longer understand as a theory but a means to record the erosion and loss of the attributes of art and thinking leading to this historical moment – so the work is a meditation on this. It also poses a provocation if art is truly free which aspects of society is art capable of interrogating, and making transparent, which leads onto locating images for Colonialism and Globalisation, then ideas for reinventing a new institutional critical practice. But central to the work has to be how to break colonial behaviour, actions and thinking, but foremost what is art able to say today, are we able to say anything?” In many respects’s the pooling together of these fragments can be seen as a path to reimagining an Enlightenment.
