Outset was delighted to support Camden Arts Centre, a contemporary visual arts venue in North London with a long and rich history of exhibitions and education outreach programmes. The Big Rip Off!, supported and co-organised by Outset, marked the 20th anniversary of Camden Arts Centre’s Artists’ Residency Programme.
The Big Rip Off! gave artists license to plunder the history of financial misdemeanours and raise funds through underhand means. Proceeds from the event were directed towards the Artists’ Residency Programme, supported by Outset since 2004.
The day included...
Emma Biggs and George Walker invited participation in their relational artwork based on an event staged at a conference in Norway on the exploitation of workers in sweatshops in Bangladesh.
Lottie Child’s cat burglary and pick-pocketing training sessions.
Keith Harrison hawking ceramic bootlegs of New Order’s Blue Monday.
Keith Wilson’s kidsploitation sweatshop makes use of his children’s labours, as he mercilessly drives them on to produce increasingly urgent additions to the abstract canon.
