Dear Colleagues,

We Have Come to Shack Up with You is a new art project by Lanfranco Aceti.

Lanfranco Aceti Inc. sponsors 10 return train trips from London to
Wendover, to the country home of the current Prime Minister. In the
spirit of sacrifice and in order to share the costs of the current
debt, perhaps the Prime Minister may consider providing accommodation
in the extra number of rooms of his country home.

This rambling performance that sees an idyllic journey in the English
countryside as well as a walk up to the country house of the PM will
provide an artistic and aesthetic moment to reflect on the
philosophical implications of a growing divide between the haves and
have nots, between petty crimes by the lower classes heavily punished
and global criminal activities by the higher classes that go
unpunished.

On the 1st April, 2013 (as a bad April Fools’ joke) a set of new
stringent changes have been made to the United Kingdom’s welfare
system. One of the most controversial changes by the current
government is to penalize those living in social housing; the
disadvantaged and out of work.

When: 13th April 2013

Time: 10am – 5pm

Where: Leaving from London Marylebone to Wendover

Additional to the cost of train travel the 10 attendees will receive
lunch and a pint in one of the local pubs.
