“Lift-Off” 2008 by Susannah Hewlett
A Beaconsfield Commission
for "Terminal",
Late at the Tate, December 2008


‘S’ is for Security……

2 Tate Britain Security Guards threaten gallery-goers using the lift, with sexually loaded interrogation tactics.

Legitimate frisking verges on the potential for inappropriate feeling up…….


Performed by SH and Shelly Atton (Shelly also appeared in SH's "It’s Not You" at the Bluecoat, Liverpool in May 2008)

The security guards were then employed to ensure rigorous vetting of un-authorised persons at the Cabaret Without Borders - Talks and Performances for Free Movement event at the Rochelle School in June 2009
