PRESS RELEASE

MARK McGOWAN
STREETFIGHTER

Date: 18/05/06 6pm-9pm
Location: Unit 02, 40-48 Bromell’s Road, London, SW4 0BG


MARK McGOWAN will be making a large scale wall drawing in the gallery to coincide with his most recent performance ‘Streetfighter’, where he will dress up as a boxing Ken Livingstone and invite people to fight him. This will take place on May 18th, from 6pm onwards. As McGowan explains:


"I will be going around Clapham all day looking for people to fight me (Ken) and arrange up to 10 one minute fights, which will take place outside CHARLIE SMITH london as part of an art exhibition on Thursday 18th May 2006. You can pre-book by calling the gallery on 020 7498 3395. I know lots of people are upset with Ken and his policies but I am here to defend Ken. I think he is a great Mayor and there are too many people disrespecting him. Ken is not only the Mayor of London but a true fighter in every sense of the word, so if there are any black cab drivers, congestion charge critics etc that fancy their chances, I am Ken and I am ready."
