Shit TV (with Charlotte & Fred) in NYC & on TV!


Hello,
We're very excited to announce that Shit TV (with Charlotte & Fred) is going to be included in a group show
at New Gallery Catalog, New York, called
The Guy Debord Show.
The new S(h)ituationist-themed episode will be stream on ustream.tv, after Fox News (!) on Monday, 19th November at 11:30pm, East Coast time (4.30am GMT).
Shit TV will be discussing the impact of Situationism on culture and art, interviewing members of the public and members of the private to get their points of view, recreating some of the defining moments of SI and hanging about in toilets. All the regular Shit TV segments will be featured, such as 'Shitty Things', 'Hunt the Dump' 'Charlotte Talks Shit', and 'And now for something Completely Shit', but with a Situationist twist.
November 19th, the day the show is aired, is also World Toilet Day. We're very excited about this.

Don't forget to tune in!

Charlotte and Fred
xx

'Event Horizon'












'Event Horizon' - Work in progress

A few weeks ago The Observer ran a feature interviewing each of the past winners of the Turner prize. Antony Gormley was quoted as saying that winning the prize is "like being a Holocaust survivor."
Link'Event Horizon' is a play on the idea of the intellectual or artistic 'heavyweight', using MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) as it's main motif. It is also a reaction against claims made by artists, such as this one, that they seem to think that, because they are artists, or claim to be so, it somehow gives validation to making asinine attempts at controversial pseudo-intellectual soundbites.
I cannot possibly begin to imagine how winning £20,000 is in any way akin to being illegally starved, beaten, stripped, imprisoned, enslaved, abused, raped, tortured and killed.

Maybe I'm missing something.
Maybe I should read more Bourriaud.
