FRAUD (Canada/Spain)
FRAUD (Audrey Samson and Francisco Gallardo) is a London-based duo of critical spatial practitioners which develop forms of art-led enquiry that examine financialisation through extractive practices and cultivate critical cosmogony building.
During their stay they will work on their project EURO-VISION, an art-led enquiry by FRAUD into the extractive gaze of European institutions and policies, which focuses on the inscriptive operations of resource management.
Initiated in 2018 in collaboration with scholar and media practitioner Btihaj Ajana, the project seeks to make visible the many entangled modes of extraction that Europe enacts on third countries through the lens of its Critical Raw Materials Initiative. The initiative defines strategies for accessing resources viewed as imperative to the EU’s subsistence, and as such, brings into focus the covalence among international relations, trade, economic policy and border security.
