pip adam and Frances Libeau in conversation

The work of interdisciplinary artist and writer Frances Libeau is a touchstone and inspiration for pip adam’s new novel kluge – a story about the end days of a tech company and its all-powerful owner, told in the style of a stand-up comedy special.

In this new novel pip ‘kluges’ together the bi-products of our surveillance society. Frances’ work often explores the hauntological potentialities of found materials.

Come and hear Frances and pip in conversation about their work and practice to celebrate the release of kluge. More information and RSVP
