McCain discusses how capitalism has become on the one hand 
all-encompassing and on the other utterly unreal. Arguing that we need 
to be prepared to think the impossible so that resistance is able to 
grow. It attempts to weave an account in which system failure is seen as 
a point of rupture, whether in legislation, bureaucracy or thought itself.

Katie McCain is a Canadian artist based in Berlin. She received her BFA 
from Concordia University and her MFA from Glasgow School of Art. Her 
work has been shown internationally, including shows in Montreal, 
Glasgow and Berlin.
