Election Art 2015
This online exhibition from artists Jeff Pigott and Julia Warin marks 50 days until the general election by presenting 50 artworks. Described by the artists themselves as ‘annoying, amusing, provocative or bland’, a new creation will appear every day to counter the seemingly interminable electioneering, until polling day on 7 May.
Until 8 May 2015, electionart2015.blogspot.co.uk
The Theatre of Shame, Galleri Vasli Souza, Malmo, Sweden
