The Bad Sheets Installations
03-07 2001
The critique within the research The Dead Zone & The Architecture of Transgression led in 2001 to the formation of Transgressive Architecture group a collective of architects and artists. The group was inspired by urban nomads' transgressive tactic and worked in the media of installation, interventions, film, education, and architectural / urban design.  The first two projects, which were carried out in 2001 and 2002, was a critique of the social urban cleansing of public spaces in London, and tested the boundaries of several urban public spaces, and opened them up to various activities. The Bad Sheets unauthorized public art installations, carried out between March and June 2001, were the first work by the TA. The Bad Sheets installations drew their inspiration from the everyday practices of some of these marginalized communities, questioning the meaning and uses of public space and challenging the social cleansing carried out by London's local authorities.
