New Entities
Jon Fawcett presents a selection of works developed from his ongoing investigation into the entity, including a number of new text works.
The entity is a liberating expansion on the sculptural and the performative, and can be seen as a contemporary, socialized approach to conceptual art.
Fawcett’s enquiry has two strands:
The creation and description of non-physical objects as real-time/real-space stories, including collaborations with 3D computer modelers David Cook and Anthony Steed.
The creation and representation of occurrences in non-art fields, including a six-month dialogue with the lawyer Lubna Azhar.

Comments from Caught in a Trap, 2002: “I’m just going to laugh every time I see that holeâ€
“Intriguingâ€, “Fantastic... Surrealâ€
