    Union of Undercover Artists

    The Union of Undercover Artists was formed in summer 2006 by Harrison, Elizabeth Kearney and Joanna Spitzner in response to the project Part-time, which they had each been commissioned to take part in. For Part-time the three artists were required to spend four weeks working undercover in low-wage jobs and to make work in response to their experiences. As well as drawing attention to the lack of support or representation for individuals working in the visual arts sector, the Union of Undercover Artists formed one of the artists’ major responses to the Part-time project.

It’s fantastic

Looks like it’s sold out already…is there any way to bags to if there’s cancellations?

Yeh me too Ellie. If any cancellations I’d love a ticket!

Loved this show when I saw it at the CCA last year - and I got in via a waitlist.

Any German speakers out there? πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ Check out this brilliant feature about Bus Regulation: The Musical & the campaigns to re-regulate buses in city-regions across the UK on Deutschlandfunk Kultur πŸ“»πŸšπŸŽ΅πŸ›Ό ... See MoreSee Less
