Gigantic ArtSpace [GAS] loudly presents
Tactical Action, a group exhibition that asks
the question ‘how can we be heard?’
Artists
investigate the sociological and the political as they are assimilated into
artistic context. Individual perspectives examine “public opinion”
and “political process”, exploring the collection, dissemination
and expression of information defined not by any specific medium, but by an
attitude toward the media. An exhibition catalogue will
be available.
