Cover artwork: ‘Space Truck‘ by Mr X Mr X has been making cardboard and mix media vehicles, at fi rst in his room and now in Bethlem Gallery.
These vehicles, repeatedly modifi ed, document the endless process of adjustment that occurs as Mr X calculates and recalibrates his relationship to the institution.
The vehicles are simultaneously a form of escape, a sanctuary, a fi lter, a second-skin - an alternative way of inhabiting the institution but also a refl ection and a critique of its spaces and rules.
These vehicles have a specifi c use-value for Mr X.
Survival in any institution requires a series of recalibrations, moments when you conform and others when you resist. Making these vehicles is a response to the question: “How do I make this space adapt to me when I am constantly being asked to adapt to it?
