Simon Farid is a sometime artist and moretime invigilator at an art institution in central London. He makes work exploring and exploiting this dual position, following three strategies:
1. He collaborates with some of his guarding colleagues on really interesting performance and [REDACTED]
2. He collaborates with some other colleagues in a public art/guarding group called the ‘Invigilator Research Network’. Together they present public projects exploring different aspects of the guard’s condition, intersecting workers rights, art making ethics, artworld hierarchies and surveillance practices. http://invigilatorresearch.org
3. He retains a personal practice concerned with these topics.
Through these various approaches; collaborative, secret, public or personal Simon tries to imagine, enact and realise new way of working together within, through and past formal art institutions and structures.
