ALWAYS STARTS > NEVER STOPS

Always > Never is the result of ongoing conversations between the artists about global political actions. Getting Away With it (2021) was a first step. In this book, the Occupy Wall Street movement of 2011 is positioned as the central pivot between past and future. We want to cut the string of the puppet masters. It is deliberate agitprop, trying to get in your face. We have created the book as a zig-zagged continuum to emphasise that protest will and should never cease, now more than ever. It’s a difficult book. It wants to be a difficult book.

Every boxed ‘gallery’ book is accompanied by a grassroots A4 zine (we’re trying to get our 2c worth of conversation in any way possible).
