Notes

Joseph Thornewill currently lives in Northampton but is originally from Winchester. He works in Cafe Nero to support himself but is primarily a performance artist. Went to study drama at university but didn't enjoy the classics, standard study of theatre. He found it fake and irrelevant to today's society. He is more interested in working on new collaborative projects and does work in unusual areas. On the plinth he will be dressed in a skeleton outfit (a trademark) and will have a number for people to text him any questions which he will answer 100% honestly but will have a sign saying liar on his back. Will also be reading out messages on the love hearts. He talks a bit about some of the work he has done.
