Details

Gob Squad is a group of UK and German artists, based in Nottingham and Berlin. Working collectively since 1994, the group makes and presents its work in urban sites such as offices, houses, shops, railway stations and hotels as well as in galleries and theatres. Using the language of film, TV and pop music to explore the complexities and absurdities of life today, Gob Squad's work is a search for beauty, meaning and humanity amongst the glittering facades and dark corners of contemporary culture. Sometimes improvised, sometimes strictly choreographed, the work is always provocative, entertaining and emotionally charged. With elements of theatre, performance, installation and video, Gob Squad will combine the best of history’s revolutions to start their very own. With all the technological powers they can get their hands on, and a charm offensive of tea, cake and electric guitars, Gob Squad will reach out to the masses and incite them to revolt. Equipped with cameras, live links, big screens, wireless transmitters and long, long cables, they’ll be broadcasting the revolution out into the world, because this revolution will be televised.
