Ryan Hughes Projects is adopting curatorial practices as a research methodology to form a part of a major new body of work titled db8 idntty. The first project of this new body of research is a night of performance and live art titled Identity Politics.In relation to contemporary artistic production it would seem that the most efficient method of exploring the politics of the self is to utilise performance or at least performance based processes, as the self becomes the very material of the work. In relation to contemporary curatorial practices it would seem that the most efficient method of putting together a show exploring the politics of the self is to utilise existing personal connections, after all, our friends, colleagues and neighbours help in defining the self.The evening will feature work by seven artists and collaborative groups, some of the pieces will last for the duration of the event and others will be programmed to give them space to breathe. Artists Include:Tara Beth Roleston Lisa Waldron MSFAC (Margaret Street Free Arts Council) Ryan Hughes Birmingham International Transient Camp
