"Placard for the Politically Undecided"

I took inspiration from meeting and listening to Tony Benn in 2011

He asserted that voters wanted politicians to be "Sign Posts" (pointing the way) not 'Weather Cocks " (changing with the wind)

Whilst the (double sided) placard span viewers were invited to listen to an audio commentary via headphones

The commentry delivered almost identical but contradictory statements into the listeners right and left ears simultaniously

The statements were opposing political views so for example:

A woman's place is in the cabinet (ran with) A woman's place is in the kitchen

Migrants enrich our culture (ran with) Migrants engulf our culture

The piece showed at Stroud Lansdown Gallery in 2011

Another audio piece I planned was intended for a site specific show in a decomissioned church

My initial idea for a piece called "One god?" was to broadcast an islamic call to prayer from the pulpit.

The organisers went for a less controversial piece in which speakers were placed amongst the pews playing the sound of sheep bleating

whilst a another speaker, hidden in the pulpit, broadcast dog commands, whistles and barking.
