Performance | Freedom: Do It Yourself, an Art Project


A tricky word, “freedom” is usually considered the lodestone of democracy. All too often this concept is found warped, mangled, and spun to benefit those utilizing it for control and usurpation of power for political and monetary gain. Such is the opinion of artists Sam Gould and Steven Lambert, whose work aims to deconstruct abuses of the concept of freedom. Using art as a hybrid of collective action, public demonstration, comedy, and the discussion of what America, and the world, could be -- if only we were willing to ask questions and to fail -- Gould and Lambert's practice aims to dismantle and flatten perceived notions of power, history, and individual responsibility.
