Anthony Schrag at Standpoint Futures Residency Programme!
Focusing on the physical sensations of the body rather than intellect / ideas, Anthony Schrag’s practice occupies an area of artistic practice that integrates performance, participatory events and socially engaged activity.
For his public presentation, Schrag presents the culmination of a project developed specifically for Standpoint and the surrounding area. The work explores the assumptions within social engagement agendas and public arts policy that advocate a utopian ideal where ‘everyone gets along’, and recognises the iimpossibility of this. Schrag proposes that we embrace conflicts and divisions as a natural and positive part of culture and offers instead the potential for a ‘good tension’ wherein alternative views and life experiences can thrive side by side.
