Commissioned by Camden Arts Centre and supported by Bloomberg, Junction is a
series of three new commissions for London’s King’s Cross in 2008-9. Artist
William Hunt, art and architecture collective public works and filmmaker Ria
Pacquée made new works including live music, comedy, undercover filming, a
mobile poster float, and a polygraph machine.
Junction draws together all the work produced for the series, creating a unique
snap shot of King’s Cross linked by its engagement with the notorious site. The
show portrays a mix of community, spectacle and concealed spaces.
William Hunt invited a number of performers to take to the stage for his project
Saturday Night TV, attaching each ‘contestant’ to a lie detector in a live, X
Factor-style show which interrogated the nature of performance art and the
elements the audience perceives as authentic in performance. For the exhibition
at Camden Arts Centre, Hunt will premiere a new film of his project alongside
various ephemera used throughout the project.
