Stuck Fast

Recommended by

  • Ian Thal: Stuck Fast by Rex McGregor
    “

    Another imaginative satire from Rex McGregor in which a commercial art gallery is targeted by an attention-seeking environmental activist. Why was the gallery targeted instead of a business more obviously connected to climate change. Can the confrontation be addressed in the minutes before the gallery opens its doors? If the conflict begins with spectacle, can a reframing bring about a solution?
