The Specter of Derrida

'The Specter of Derrida' was instigated & directed by artist Mike Chavez-Dawson in response to 'Rule of Three'. ‘The Specter of Derrida’ stemmed from a a series of collaborations and workshops with Dr. John Rowe, Trifecta films and musicians Jah Wobble and Stratton Barrett culminating in an essay-cum-pop-video as a critical response to 'The Rule of Three' artist residency and online resource. The piece went on to function as an introduction to an independent art conference 'Art & Money What's The Problem' at Lionel Dobie Project space, Manchester, UK. http://www.ruleof3.co.uk/online-works/ Credits: Co-direction, DOP, editor and post-production: Paul Wright; Audio: written, produced and performed by Stratton Barrett & Jah Wobble under Chavez-Dawsons direction.
