Bed-time – sculpture and film, 2022
‘Bed-time’ was a series of floating sculptures that arrived unannounced at 3 specifically chosen locations around Liverpool City Centre on the 2nd July beginning at 6am and ending at 8pm.
These locations were:
In the Albert Dock, near Tate Liverpool.
In the Bucket Fountain, in the Commercial District.
In the lake at Princes Park, in Toxteth.
2nd July 2022 was the 102nd anniversary of the 1st International Dada Art fair in Berlin. D/deaf, disabled and neurodivergent artists around the UK staged their own Dadaist interventions organised by DASH Arts in collaboration with 31 Plus Tate galleries under the title of WAIWAV (We are invisible / We are visible). You can read more about the WAIWAV project here.
I was not part of this official list of gallery-sanctioned interventions and conducted my interventions without gallery permission or commission from DASH Arts. As a result, my Albert Dock intervention lasted just 40 minutes until security were called and I was forced to withdraw my sculpture.
