Dear Living Person II: Story of the Eyes
By John Russell
Mute Magazine, 14 September, 2011

As the image of Margaret Thatcher circulates through the media ecology, John Russell's public art work in Southend-on-Sea works to redirect its affective charge. The Iron Lady, stable signifier for straight-jacketed social relations, becomes a fecund sump in which to grow new forms-of-life. Here he discusses his latest work while delectating Maggie's corpse

Dear Living Person

By John Russell
Mute Magazine, February 2011

'Art's chasing after its own limits is like our dreams of transcendence which must fail and, in so doing, justify our despair. Here, John Russell gives a corpse-eye-view of the bogusness of limits, not least the one between the living and the dead.'
