Abstract

UK-based artist Neville Gabie discusses the turns his art practice has taken since his Olympic Park residency in the lead up to the 2012 London Summer Games. Gabie reflects on his counter-Olympic initiative, The Greatest Possible Distance (2012) as well as his more recent residency at the Cabot Institute, which led to a series of formally experimental works entitled, Experiments in Black and White (2012–2013). This series served as the impetus for Gabie's ephemeral, socially engaged work, Collective Breath. A poster that documents the Collective Breath project is printed in Part 4: 'Suspending Freedom, Sustaining Spectacle' of this special issue.
