DOWNWARDLY MOBILE

Downwardly Mobile is an installation focusing both on Deptford’s squat culture and radical history of resistance to dispossession. It reflects artist, Jill Kennedy-McNeill’s ongoing vulnerably housed status. The work features imagery of the artist in various states of rapture, set against some of her previous guardianship properties - most of which have been demolished to make way for luxury flats. Parodying American real estate advertisements, the sign posts and frames denote the parameters of an imagined domicile.

Situated on council land without official permission, the work is exposed to the elements, removal orders and interventions from by-passers. Public interactions of any kind are very much encouraged. - Deptford X exhibition guide - Sept 2018
