SOME THIN ARTIST JUST SHOWED WORK IN A PRESENTATION WHERE THEY WORE A FAT SUIT TO RIDICULE OBESITY AND SAY THAT WE WE ARE TO BLAME FOR CLIMATE DESTRUCTION.
A FAT SUIT!??? IN 2020?!!
Stop making art now. My god.

Artist has a track record for being very classist already- and this is primarily the same privileged fuckery. Very happy to discuss!
Okay so.. I think there’s a risk of taking something ‘out of context’ in a presentation but if it’s IN A BOOK it’s fair game. And this just made me SCREAM.
This whole section of the book conflates eating meat, climate crisis, and wealth in the most ENTIRELY offensive way I could imagine that completely ignores class/disability/race etc.
Sorry I couldn’t sleep and went back to the book. There’s so much fuckery but on this theme- here’s an actual printed script from a performance. Textbook eco-fascism.

Just to say this is the GLASGOW EFFECT Ellie Harrison - all this stuff is online/her website.
It is NOT the Ellie Harrison in Leeds who is on twitter who I follow and is very lovely (and does the Grief Series).
