Social Experiments: Material Environments: Bad Shit, The Tetley, Leeds, UK, 4th May - 8th July 2018.
Social Experiments brings together 2 projects, Material Environments: Bad Shit and Knowledge is Power: 6 Towns. Rooted in place and history, both projects research the capacity for material and socio-political transformation through live scientific experimentation, production and participation to suggest new ways of thinking.
This item contains a contextual project outline, an exhibition guide. promotional pamphlet and flyer (courtesy of The Tetley gallery), 10 exhibition views, an extract of the Asteroids film loop, 5 images of the Tetley Weekender Workshops and 3 preliminary drawings.
This item documents Harrison's participation in Material Environments at The Tetley in 2018. Along with 4 other artists Harrison was invited to respond to the building's industrial heritage and develop work that would evolve during the exhibition. Focusing on the site's history as a brewery the installation involved live intervention in the fermentation process to produce CO2 gas in one gallery space which was pumped through to inflate a 2.5m balloon in another. An adaptation of Asteroids, a 1980's video game on a continuous loop, reflecting the alchemical shifts in the ongoing CO2 production, was displayed on a monitor as part of the installation. Harrison conducted public workshops during the Tetley Weekender on 19th-20th May, live testing the CO2 by-products to create special editions of Bad Shit to give away to the public.
The exhibition was curated by Ben Roberts Director of the Artists’ Research Centre.
