Rachael Clerke

I am a Bristol-based artist working across many mediums. I make artworks that sit somewhere on the edge of live art and community infrastructure; playful experiments about what real life might look like if we were less concerned with what real life ‘should’ look like.

These have included: a performance score for 3-5 year olds to take power over institutional art space; a piece of gig theatre about concrete architecture featuring a drag king punk band; a book of 151 ideas for overthrowing the government; a quilt of data from the 2019 general election; a DIY business selling shares in a communal bicycle; a podcast about private renting.

I am currently working on Transactionland, a shop/artwork/community-space for exploring inclusive economies.
