Social
was a live art platform looking at social rituals and roles. How do
expectations shape experience? At what point do we question whether
something is real or performed?
Presented as a one-night-only private members club and hosted by London's
Surdoc Social and Latvian Welfare Clubs, Social took on each venue's
characteristics and added subtle interactions activating audience
and performer, including a marriage, Latvian Folk dance lessons, a
stripper and many other exaggerated social behaviours.
The actions were performed by FrenchMottershead, the staff and members
of each venue, collaborating artists Robin Deacon,
Laurence Harvey, Rosie Thwaites, Matthew Walmsley,
Mark Wayman,
and students from Goldsmiths
and Central St.Martins.
