Last week I was asked whether I see my performances being accessible to the outside public, how do I see them being disseminated? I could not think how to respond at the time but on reflection what I should have said is...

“I place my work as a general rule into the gallery context because, ultimately, my main interests are in the politics of space; my work is about ‘the gallery’. A gallery or institution holds a ready-made set of assumptions to subvert or breakdown. These pre-conditionings do not apply in the same way to the outside world. The gallery frame offers me a microcosm, an exaggerated state of control to play with. It is the role of those that see it to disseminate it into the outside world.
