Free Thinking is For Free

Free Thinking was the title of a workshop in Riga given by Logan, Steiner and Kathi Glas. We used costume constructions and, while wearing them, walked through the city, shooting arrows at buildings. The performance was part vaudeville, part self-thereapy, Psychogeography and public demonstration. Free Thinking is For Free was the artwork as well as a chant. The flag has been exhibited at CAC, Artspace Sydney, Künstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin and, most recently, at the Zollamt Gallery, on the Austrian/Slovenian boarder, in 2016.
