Sarah Andrew's photographic works explore the social
systems and structures that make contemporary society. For I.D.E.A.London
Sarah, a founder member of Random Artists, has documented the current
land usage of 9 former squatted Temporary Autonomous Art (TAA) exhibition
sites where Random Artists led open access shows and workshops, counter-pointing
their current state with original abandoned function of the building
before Random Artist reopened them. Many of the sites are still derelict,
years after the TAA cultural centres have been evicted, still sealed
behind the locks and inevitable security cameras, others
are compact-bijou flats or are in the process of transformation in private
housing stock. None of them are the sites for communal education and
felicitation that they were under Random Artists occupation. These images
document the bureaucracy and institutional wastage that makes England
tick. |
