[spectre] Feral Class, book launch at Broadside, in Glasgow.

[marc.garrett]

Hi all,
I'm in Glasgow this coming weekend, 28th March doing a book reading at the Broadside Space 'For free you’d never be' an afternoon dedicated to writing and its intersections with politics and publicness. So come and say hello if you're free -https://broadside.space/event/for-free-youd-never-be/

"Feral Classis Marc Garrett’s deeply personal and thought-provoking exploration of his early years, chronicling his journey as a working-class artist navigating a world that often rejects them. Through humorous, vivid storytelling and incisive critique, Garrett explores how his upbringing shaped his identity, forging a path that defied societal expectations. How can one survive, let alone thrive, as part of what Garrett describes as the feral class: a group of individuals who, like him, exist outside traditional institutions and thrive in the margins, using resourcefulness and rebellion to carve out their own artistic spaces?" Minor Compositions, 2025..

“The great art-institutional swindle is the tacit consensus that conformity is a necessity. Marc Garrett’s Feral Class, a rough-and-tumble memoir of the artist and Furtherfield Gallery co-director’s trajectory from childhood to not-quite-germ-free adolescence, is a defiant two-finger salute to the sanctity of such staid professional orthodoxy.” Quaintance, 2026.
