Louise Ashcroft's performances, comedy, videos, writing, community projects, drawings and sculptures spawn from her antagonistic fieldwork in public space, meddling with the bizarre norms of capitalism. She's made work for BBC Sounds, Tate Learning, Museum of London Lates, Arebyte, Bobinska Brownlee, Frans Hals Museum, Art Night London, BQ Berlin, Turf Projects, Duckie, Deptford X Special Project, Salisbury Art Centre, Coastal Currents Festival, TEDx Hackney, Wellcome Lates, Latitude and Supernormal Festival. She is a co-founder of London's peer led art school AltMFA (est 2010), runs the funny live art night 'Unperforming', and teaches art at Goldsmiths. Speaking fiction to power, Louise's work creates situations and stories which unravel reality and remix primary and secondary research; often deliberately misunderstanding or subverting cultural codes and disrupting systems in order to speculate alternative ways of seeing/being.
