George Storm Fletcher is a performance artist, and menace. They are at their best when being outrageously queer, playful, and heartfelt.
Their work focuses on the unimaginable effects of happenings and histories. In recent years this has manifested as a series of text-based interventions, with their trademark, immediate, DIY aesthetic.
Grounded in Britain, their work plays with informal expressions and slang. Referencing domestic buildings and architectures, they use magnolia vinyl matt emulsion to root the work in their personal history.
Fletcher’s piece, The First Rule of Assertiveness, was awarded a prize at 2022’s Artworks Open. It was selected by curators Jasleen Kaur and Louise Ashcroft. The prize consists of a residency and solo show at the Barbican Arts Group Trust.
FUSE will open on Thursday the 24th of August at 6pm, in the ArtWorks Project Space. It will present three new works by Fletcher and a performance, Docky. Using found objects and their infamous hand-painted letters, Fletcher will question current narratives of renovation and the resurgence of ‘boundaries’.
