On 4 August, to mark the ending of the solo exhibition 22 by Asta Lynge, Adam Gallagher will repurpose works from the Audience series with Lynge and turn them into a makeshift public address system.

As part of the performance, he will recount his self-published pamphlet Mock Chicken, Mock Ethics, Mock London which is part of the EARF series started in 2017, comprising 15 pamphlets.
