SPLIT is a new version of a performance by Frank Wasser which has been derived from two bodies of work, his recently released book and his doctorate research.
Wasser’s doctorate research asks pertinent questions about the unstated conventions and regulations of art education, exhibition making and what constitutes artistic research.
SPLIT (Zero Hour Fragments), a short artists book, which was recently published by Ma Bibliothèque, takes the form of a series of distractions collating the sparse written fragments of a zero-hour contractor and associate lecturer seeking agency through the acts of writing and making. Initially it was written on a smart phone between 2013 and 2018, while the writer (the worker) worked zero-hour contract jobs in universities, museums, and art institutions in London. Both bodies weave together a tapestry of observations, fictions, and confabulations from inside the institutions sustaining, controlling, and propagating the flow of capital and culture through living bodies.
